Ingredients

To make this delicious chocolate fudge layer cake, you will need the following ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, butter, eggs, buttermilk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract.

To make the fudge frosting, you will need the following ingredients: butter, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, heavy cream, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract.

Instructions

Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F and greasing two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder until combined. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each is incorporated before adding the next. Add the buttermilk and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pans before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

To make the fudge frosting, melt the butter and cocoa powder together in a small saucepan over medium heat until combined. Remove from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and heavy cream until combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted and combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and set aside to cool slightly.

To assemble the cake, place one layer of the cake on a cake stand or plate. Spread the top with a layer of the fudge frosting. Place the second layer of cake on top and spread the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
