Provided by Member recipe by misskay

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

150ml sunflower oil, plus extra for the tin
175g self-raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
150g caster sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
150ml semi-skimmed milk
100g unsalted butter
225g icing sugar
40g cocoa powder
2½ tbsp milk (a little more if needed)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil and line the base of two 18cm sandwich tins. Sieve the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Add the caster sugar and mix well.
  • Make a well in the centre and add the golden syrup, eggs, sunflower oil and milk. Beat well with an electric whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the two tins and bake for 25-30 mins until risen and firm to the touch. Remove from oven, leave to cool for 10 mins before turning out onto a cooling rack.
  • To make the icing, beat the unsalted butter in a bowl until soft. Gradually sieve and beat in the icing sugar and cocoa powder, then add enough of the milk to make the icing fluffy and spreadable.
  • Sandwich the two cakes together with the butter icing and cover the sides and the top of the cake with more icing.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cake. Choose a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao for a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes. If you bake it at a higher temperature, the cake is more likely to burn. If you bake it at a lower temperature, the cake is more likely to be undercooked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a variety of toppings to dress up your cake. You can use chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles, or even fresh fruit to add some extra flavor and visual appeal.

Conclusion:

Moist chocolate fudge cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you are serving it to a crowd or just enjoying it yourself, this cake is sure to be a hit.
