Description
A fudgy single-layer cake that tastes like a giant brownie topped with glossy chocolate fudge.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz chocolate, chopped (for topping)
- 2 tbsp butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a buttered and parchment-lined 9-inch round pan.
- Melt butter with the chopped dark chocolate and let it cool slightly.
- Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
- Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- While the cake cools, heat heavy cream to simmer and pour it over the chopped chocolate and butter for the fudge topping; whisk until smooth.
- Pour the fudge over the warm cake and chill until set.
Notes
For best fudgy texture, slightly underbake the cake. Chilling after glazing improves sliceability.
