Chocolate Fudge Cake Recipe Using Cake Mix
Ingredients:
Making a chocolate fudge cake using a cake mix is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a classic dessert. You will need a box of butter cake mix, 3 eggs, 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1 1/4 cup of water, 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional).
Instructions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or a 9x13-inch cake pan. In a large bowl, mix together the butter cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Beat until the ingredients are well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if desired. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. To make a chocolate fudge frosting, melt 1/2 cup of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add in 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and stir until well combined. Add 3 cups of powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of milk, stirring until the mixture is thick and creamy. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
Nutrition:
One slice of the chocolate fudge cake using a cake mix contains approximately 350 calories. The nutritional breakdown is as follows: 11.5 grams of fat, 46.5 grams of carbohydrates, 3.5 grams of fiber, 2.5 grams of protein, and 270 milligrams of sodium. Additionally, the cake contains 7% of the recommended daily value of iron.
Tips:
For a lighter cake, use a box of cake mix that is specifically labeled as "light". This will reduce the fat and calorie content of the cake. You can also substitute the butter for a light margarine or low-fat spread to further reduce the fat and calorie content. If you do not want to use a cake mix, you can make the cake from scratch using a basic chocolate cake recipe.
If you are looking for a more decadent cake, you can add additional chocolate chips to the cake batter. Or, you can add a layer of chocolate ganache to the cake before frosting. To make a ganache, melt 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Allow the ganache to cool before spreading it over the cake.
Finally, you can decorate the cake with chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, or even a chocolate drizzle. If you want to really make the cake stand out, add a few pieces of candy or a handful of colorful sprinkles. This will make the cake look even more delicious!
Storage:
The cake should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The cake can also be frozen for up to 3 months. If you plan on freezing the cake, just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before putting it in the freezer.
Making a chocolate fudge cake using a cake mix is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a classic dessert. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of preparation time, you can have a delicious cake that will please everyone. So go ahead and give this recipe a try!
