first attempt at chocolate fudge cake - success!

Last sunday I baked my first chocolate cake... and it was yummylicious!!! haha.. it just turned out better than i expected, cos i expected my sponge cake to flop. and i am glad it didn't! making of the chocolate cake involved two stages - the sponge cake and the fudge. so here we go...

sieve the all purpose flour with cocoa powder...

melt the butter over low heat, remove from heat and stir in vanilla essence

Add sugar to eggs

And whisk over simmering water...

remove suger+egg mixture and whip...

till foamy, about three times the original volume

fold in the flour+cocoa powder mixture

then fold in the egg+sugar+flour+cocoa powder mixture into the butter+vanilla essence mixture and bake at 375oF and.....

To make fudge:

heat heavy cream till boiling, and pour over semi-sweet chocolate buttons, then stir into unsalted butter and mix. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before using it as a filling and over cake

FAST FORWARD
