CHOCOLATE FUDGE LAYER CAKE

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Kid-Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the cake:
1 1/4 sticks (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) butter, plus extra for greasing
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups light-brown sugar
For the chocolate frosting:
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate (50-70% cacao, depending on your taste), chopped
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter, cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Special equipment:
Two 8-inch round cake pans

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350F. In a small saucepan, gently melt the 1 1/4 sticks of butter. Remove from heat and whisk in the milk, oil, and vanilla. Meanwhile, grease two 8-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with circles of parchment paper.
  • Mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then sift into a large bowl.
  • Add the brown sugar and break up any lumps. Make a well in the center and add the butter mixture. Using a whisk, slowly mix the ingredients together, then give it a good beating until smooth and evenly blended. Using a spatula, divide the batter equally between the pans and spread it flat.
  • Bake until the cakes are risen, firm, and have shrunk back slightly from the edges of the pans. Let cool in the pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
  • Make the frosting: In a medium saucepan, stir the condensed milk and cream over low heat until it starts to bubble at the edges. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate, butter, and vanilla. Let the chocolate melt, stirring and beating occasionally as it cools, until thick, fudgy, and completely cooled.
  • Assemble the cake: On a cake plate lined with strips of parchment paper, sandwich the cakes together with 1/2 cup frosting. Spoon the remaining frosting over the top of the cake. Spread it out thickly, then, working on a quarter of the cake at a time, work the frosting over the edge of the cake and down to meet the plate. Try to keep going in one fluid movement. Repeat all over. Smooth and swirl the frosting as you like, or leave it rough.
  • Let the cake sit somewhere cool for an hour (or up to a day) before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate for the cake batter and the frosting. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cake.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start making the frosting. This will help the frosting to be smooth and creamy.
  • If you don't have a coffee maker, you can use instant coffee powder dissolved in hot water.
  • Be careful not to overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you are short on time, you can use a store-bought chocolate cake mix instead of making the cake from scratch.
  • You can decorate the cake with chocolate chips, sprinkles, or other decorations of your choice.

Conclusion:

This fudgy chocolate layer cake with coffee chocolate frosting is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is rich and creamy. The coffee flavor in the frosting adds a unique and delicious twist to this classic cake. If you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, this cake is sure to do the trick.
