Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice: Chocolate Fudge Cake

Chocolate Fudge Cake

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate frosting - I cheated and just used store-bought Betty Crocker frosting because I ran out of chocolate :p

Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven at 180/ 350 degrees.  Combine the wet ingredients in one bowl and stir.

2. Combine the dry ingredients and sift to remove all the lumps.

3. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet one.  Do this in batches.  You can use your electric mixer, but I prefer to just use a spatula or a whisk.

4. Mix until well-combined but be sure not to over mix to avoid having a tough cake texture.

5. You can use a round 9 inch cake pan, but I decided to just use a big flat baking tray for today.

6. Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes if you're using the round pan.  For the flat baking tray like mine, cook for about 20 - 25 minutes only.  Use the toothpick test and remove from the oven once cooked.

7. Set aside and let cool before cutting or frosting.  I divided my cake into 4 pieces and frosted half of it.

8. Top 'em with the other half.

9. Frost and place in the fridge for at least an hour.

10. Serve with vanilla ice cream on the side.  Plate and Enjoy! :)
