Fudge Cake
This decadent, chocolatey, rich and deliciously moist cake is one of the yummiest cakes, capable of satisfying even the most die-hard of chocoholics!!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour 180gm
- 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 3/4 cup caster/grinded light brown sugar 150gm
- 75 gm melted semi-sweet/baking chocolate
- 2 eggs at room temperature (beaten with a fork until slightly frothy)
- 3/4 cup 150ml WARM melted butter (should not be hot, just warm to the touch. Melt then measure 3/4 cup)
- 3/4 cup milk at room temperature (150ml)
- 1 tsp. vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp. golden syrup
Instructions
- Check how to make self-rising flour HEREGrease a 7″ or 8″ pan and line with grease-proof paper, then grease the paper as well and dust with some flour.Pre-heat oven to 170 C.Sift the flour with cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add the caster/grinded sugar into the flour and stir it in until well mixed.
- Make a hole/well in the center of the flour. Pour in the milk, melted chocolate, warm melted butter, beaten eggs, vanilla and golden syrup.Beat using an electric beater or mix with a whisk until all is combined and smooth. Do not over-mix, stop when everything is nicely combined and looks smooth and luxurious.Pour the batter into prepared pan, bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.Cool the cake completely before applying frosting. I used my whipped ganache frosting, and you can create the swirly effect with a spoon.HERE is the frosting recipe.Enjoy! 🙂
Notes
-
You can even mix melted butter and vegetable oil if you want, in the ratio melted butter 100ml and oil 50ml.
-
For a light and fluffy cake, sift the flour with salt and baking soda THREE times. Then add the sugar into it. By sifting the flour that many times you are incorporating more air into the flour, which will result in a more perfect cake.

can we use maple syrup instead of golden syrup?
W/Salaam. Have not tried with maple syrup, corn syrup is a closer substitute.
can i use white sugar?
Yes you can.
thank u for ur quick replies 🙂 one more question… how can i get melted semi-sweet baking chocolate? umm can i use nutella instead?
Just melt regular cooking chocolate, you can use nutella but since that is sweetened, you may need to reduce the sugar slightly.
Can we substitute something else for bicarbonate of soda since i dont have it
It is needed for this recipe.
Salaams. what is golden syrup? and what can you use instead if you don’t have at hand?
W/Salaam, it is a kind of syrup that looks like honey. You can use corn syrup instead or if you don’t have that then honey will do.

That’s one and a half cups. So 1 and a half tsp baking powder for the first cup and then three-quarter tsp baking powder for the half cup. And 2 small pinches of salt.

Yes, just about any cake can be made into cupcakes.
I made this cake today but the middle part sunk what could be the problem?
Hi, did you open the oven midway through baking? That is one of the main reasons cakes sink in the middle.

You can make SR flour by adding 1 and a half tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt to every cup of plain flour.

But when I made the batter, it was just pouring down when I took it with a spoon. Does that mean should I beat the mixture more or Have I over-beaten them?
It is fine it depends on how
It is fine it depends on how liquid the butter is after melting. Some solidify fast thereby making the batter thicker. It is fine as long as the cake turned out ok.

Yes you can interchange the two, although I think the dutch-processed version has a milder flavour to the normal one, and they add some sort of acid in it during processing. I prefer the natural cocoa for my cakes and other recipes.
