Who can ever resist a Chocolate fudge cake? With the ganache oozing down on the sides and as you take that first bite and slowly relishing the heavenly taste of chocolate...??  This is always a hit with my girls.

Yields one 18cm by 18cm Sq Cake


Ingredients for Butter Cake

2/3 cup unsalted butter

1 cup castor sugar

1 cup dark choc/baking choc (at least 55% cocoa)

1/2 cup brown sugar

300ml skim milk (separated into 2 quantities, 150ml each)

1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

A pinch of salt

2 egg yolks

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 egg whites

Method for Butter Cake

Preheat oven to 180 deg C or 350 deg F

Grease a square 18cm by 18cm baking tin and lay grease proof paper.

Beat unsalted butter and castor sugar till light and fluffy. Add egg yolk one at a time and beat till combined.

Take a small pot and melt dark choc, brown sugar and 150 ml milk. Stir consistently till combined, then add another 150 ml milk. Stir well and then allow to cool for 5 mins.

Sieve flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.

Pour the melted choc mixture and the sieved ingredients to the beaten sugar and butter bowl. Fold all the ingredients in.

In another bowl, whisk the egg whites till soft peaks form. Fold this into the combined ingredients.

Pour this cake batter into the baking tin and bake for 40-45 mins. Allow to cool then cut into half sideways.

Ingredients for Ganache

200ml whipping cream

200gm dark choc (55.5% cocoa)

2/3 cup unsalted butter

Method for Ganache

Bring whipping cream to boil, then add the dark choc and butter. Stir till well combined.

Final Assembly for Chocolate Fudge Cake

Take the lower half the cut butter cake and spread a thick layer of ganache on the top.

Place the top portion over this. Coat the whole cake with a thick layer of ganache. Let it drip over the sides for that extra effect.

You can either serve this decadent Chocolate Fudge Cake warm immediately or set it in the fridge for an hour before serving.  Garnish with sliced strawberries and dust with confectioner's sugar. 

Enjoy but do watch out for calories. In moderation please!
