MOIST CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F 165 C/ Gas Mark 3
• Grease and line 2 x 8-inch or 3 x 7-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
• Dry ingredients - in a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder - set aside
• Melt chocolate in a microwave or double boiler and set aside to cool. Pro tip - it is important to ensure the chocolate is cooled before you add it to the batter.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time making sure each is well incorporated. Followed by the vanilla extract.
• Next, add the flour mixer and buttermilk in three batches. Followed by the melted cooled chocolate
• Divide batter equally between the prepared baking pans.Pro tip - I like to use cake strips to ensure my layer cakes bake flat.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes clean.
• Cool in the baking pan for 5 minutes. Invert and cool on a wire rack completely before you decoratePro tip - it is very important that the cakes are completely cooled before frosting. Otherwise, the frosting will melt on the warm cakes.
• Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler - Set aside to cool.
• In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth.
• Add salt, whipping cream, and vanilla extract - mix a minute longer, until well combined
• Then, add the powdered sugar one cup at a time
• Once all the powdered sugar has been incorporated. Continue to mix on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes. Lastly, add the melted cooled chocolate.
• The cream in the mixture will whip and give you almost stiff peaks.Pro tip- If the buttercream is too soft, you haven't whipped enough. However, If the butter is melting chill the bowl for 10 minutes then whip again. (this can happen in warmer temperatures)
• Prepare simple syrup - cool completely before using.Pro tip- Simple syrup is just sugar water that has been boiled and cooled. Used to keep cake layers moist.
• Using a bread knife or cake leveler cut the domes off the cake layers. Brush each layer with the cooled simple syrup
• Place a cake layer on the cake board or cake stand
• Stack layers - Top with a big dollop of buttercream - spread evenly using a straight-edge spatula. Then top the second cake layer on top followed by more buttercream and the last layer.
• Crumb coat - Spread a thin layer of frosting on top and around the cake. Place the cake in the fridge to chill for 10 to 15 minutes.Pro tip - Chilling the cake at this point will ensure the layers don't move when you frost the outside. Though, if you leave the cake uncovered in the fridge for too long it can dry out. So, 10 minutes is all you need.
• Spread the remaining buttercream around and on top of the cake.Pro tip - A straight-edge spatula for the top, an offset spatula, and a bench scraper for the sides work better.
• Create a rustic buttercream look by simply swirling the tip of the spatula around the cake.
• Place any remaining frosting in a piping bag and with a round tip and pipe small kisses as I have done
