Description

A rich and decadent chocolate fudge cake that is easy to make and deliciously satisfying.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and thick but pourable.
  4. Spread the batter evenly in a greased 8-inch baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir.
  6. Carefully pour boiling water over the top of the batter to cover completely. Do not mix.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top looks set and the sauce bubbles beneath.
  8. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the fudge sauce to thicken.
  9. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • This cake is best served warm to enjoy the gooey fudge sauce.
  • For extra indulgence, top with whipped cream or ice cream.
