CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE WITH BUTTERSCOTCH FUDGE FROSTING



Chocolate Fudge Cake With Butterscotch Fudge Frosting image

My father-in-law is a baker for a bakery in our home state of New Jersey and claims (with a mysterious twinkle in his eyes) that this is HIS recipe! However, it seems to be the same cake my grandmother has been making since my mother was a little girl...HMMM... Whatever the case, this is real comfort food, especially if you go all the way and make the fudge sauce. It's something that both my grandmother AND father-in-law do:) *Cook and prep times are for all 3 recipes combined.*

Tips for Making Butterscotch Fudge:

  • Use a heavy saucepan: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fudge from scorching.
  • Cook the fudge to the right temperature: The ideal temperature for butterscotch fudge is 234°F (112°C). A candy thermometer is essential for this.
  • Stir the fudge constantly: This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and ensure a smooth fudge.
  • Let the fudge cool slightly before beating it: This will help to prevent the fudge from becoming grainy.
  • Beat the fudge until it is thick and creamy: This will give the fudge a smooth and velvety texture.
  • Press the fudge into a pan: This will help to shape the fudge and make it easier to cut.
  • Chill the fudge before cutting it: This will help to firm up the fudge and make it easier to cut into neat squares.

Conclusion:
