Lightly grease the base and sides and line the base of the two sandwich tins with baking paper – set to one side until they’re needed. Oh, and preheat your oven to 180°C/Fan 170°C.
Next, place all the sponge ingredients into an electric stand mixer or a large bowl with an electric hand whisk. Take care to heed my notes! (Room temp, melted etc)

Aaaaand give it a good mix until everything is smooth and blended nicely. Please take care to not over mix here – only beat just until it’s smooth, blended and there’s no more lumps of butter.
Divide the mixture between your two lined sandwich tins and smooth out with a spatula. If you’re oven is particularly bad at creating domes in the middle, put a slight dip in the centres to combat it.
Now bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean and the edges are just starting to come away from the tin. Please be careful not to over bake them – that is guaranteed dry cake territory! Check with a skewer at around the 13 min mark just in case. All ovens are different and, believe it or not – you know yours better than

Is what it looks like when you over dip the centre to combat doming. My bad. The plus side? No one is gonna have any idea that crevice exists once it’s decorated! So take the cakes out the tins and pop them upside down on a rack to cool completely.
To make the chocolate frosting, sift the icing sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl with an electric hand whisk) then add in the softened, cubed butter.
Begin mixing very slowly until you can’t see any more icing sugar (or you’ll end up in a mushroom cloud of sugary goodness!) then scrape the bowl down and mix on medium/high until really light, smooth and fluffy.
Step By Step Chocolate Cake
Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl in the microwave in 10 second intervals. Make sure to stir well between each time. Once it’s melted pour it into the bowl and mix again until evenly incorporated. You may want to scrape down the bowl once during this stage.
Next, take the other sponge layer and place it upside down (bottom side up) on top of the frosting. This will give us a nice flat top without any effort at all. Finally, smear the remaining frosting over the top of your cake, stand back and marvel at your handy work.
It looks SO good doesn’t it? If you don’t inhale this whole, store it covered (in a tin or covered cake stand) at room temperature and consume within 3-4 days.

For this recipe I like to use cake strips. Once in the oven these damp strips placed around the cake pans keep the exterior from getting too hot before the interior starts to heat so the cake rises more evenly all the way across.

There are also some DIY methods if you want to make some yourself. You can skip using these then just trim the top of the cake to level.
If you love that hint of espresso flavor then yes you can definitely add some instant espresso powder to the recipe as well. Use 1 – 3 tsp depending on how strong you’d like the flavor to be.
If you want to make a single layer cake or 12 cupcakes you can half the recipe. Just use 1 egg yolk.

Yes. To do so use a Cup for Cup gluten free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour. Then of course check labels of other ingredients to be certain they are gluten free.
I usually set my cakes on a large flat plat and frost then store in an airtight cake carrier in the fridge up to 4 days. The cake cake can also be store at room temperature but it doesn’t keep as long.

Recipe originally posted February 2014. Some changes to recipe have been made including adding 1/4 cup butter to the recipe and increasing sour cream from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup. This makes an even moister and more fudgy cake with these updates.A very chocolatey, moist Chocolate Fudge Cakethat is similar to chocolate mud cake, but not as dense. Made with both melted chocolate and cocoa, AND topped with chocolate ganache, this one is sure to satisfying your chocolate cravings!
I may be disowned as an Australian for saying this, but I’m not the hugest fan of classic Chocolate Mud Cake. I find it too dense and doughy, and it gets stuck to the roof of my mouth. It’s very……erm…..mud-like.

Fudgier and mud-cake like than 99% of other chocolate cakes, including my own everyday Chocolate Cake. Call it a Chocolate Fudge MUD CAKE if you want!! (Bit too much of a mouthful for me…. 🙂 )
I know there are a LOT of chocolate cake recipes “out there”. But here’s why I love this Easy Chocolate Fudge Cake so much:
You would be forgiven for thinking you’re making a brownie when you start making this Chocolate Fudge Cake. Because that is in fact where the roots of this cake recipe is drawn from.
Easy Chocolate Fudge Cake
Did you know… The reason you see hot water in chocolate cake recipes is because it makes the cocoa “bloom”, making the cake taste more like chocolate!
↑↑↑ Crackage is normal! It’s kind of like that crinkly top of brownies – because this cake has lift in it from baking powder, it “bursts” through the crinkly top. But don’t worry, the cracks are less prominent once it cools (because it sinks a bit) and it’s completely hidden under Chocolate Ganache!
I had someone on Instagram asking me what the difference is between Fudge Cake and Mud Cake so I thought I’d explain!! Chocolate mud cake is so dense that it cuts cleanly with perfect edges and virtually no crumbs.
Moist And Fluffy Marble Cake Recipe With Whipped Chocolate Ganache
In contrast, fudge cakes have more of a cake-like texture, like what you see in the close up of the slice at the top of this post.
I’m of the opinion that if we’re going to make a Fudgy Chocolate Cake, let’s really drive home the decadence and chocolate flavour by frosting it with chocolate ganache.
If you’re new to Chocolate Ganche, you’re going to really love this. Rather than beating icing sugar and butter for ages and ages like we do with Chocolate Buttercream, Chocolate Ganache is made simply with cream and chocolate that’s heated until the chocolate melts.
