📋 Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Cake:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
For the Chocolate Fudge Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
For the Fudge Layer:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
📝 Instructions:
Make the Chocolate Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans (or line them with parchment paper).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until the batter is smooth.
Gradually stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin—this is perfectly fine).
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Chocolate Fudge Frosting:
In a medium saucepan, combine the softened butter and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm.
Stir in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt, beating with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
Make the Fudge Layer:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Assemble the Cake:
Level the cooled cake layers if necessary.
Place one cake layer on your serving plate and spread a generous layer of the chocolate fudge frosting over the top.
Pour a generous layer of the fudge mixture over the frosting, spreading it evenly.
Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process with frosting and fudge layers.
Finally, frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining chocolate fudge frosting.
Set and Serve:
Allow the cake to set for 30 minutes to an hour so that the fudge layers firm up.
Slice and enjoy every decadent, heavenly bite of your Decadent Choco-Fudge Elysium Cake!
Indulge in this sumptuous masterpiece – the perfect treat for any special occasion or when you're craving something truly chocolaty!
