INGREDIENTS FOR THE FUDGE

FROSTING: 
12 oz (340 g) semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 ¾ (425 ml) cup whipping cream
½ cup (125 ml) sour cream
½ (3 ml) tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

METHOD:
BAKING DIRECTIONS FOR THE CAKE: 
1. For the cake, preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
Grease 2 8-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with
parchment. Dust the sides of the pans with flour, tapping
out any excess flour.
2. Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and
salt into a large mixing bowl or into the bowl of a stand
mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter
cutting it in (if in a large bowl, use electric beaters) until
the mixture is a fine crumble (like the texture of fine
breadcrumbs) and no large pieces of butter are visible.
3. Stir the hot coffee, milk and vanilla together and add
it all at once to the flour mixture, blending until smooth.
Break the eggs into a small dish and stir them with a
fork and then add them to the batter, again blending on
medium speed just until smooth (the batter will be very
fluid). Divide the batter evenly between the prepared
pans and tap them on the counter to eliminate any
bubbles.
4. Bake the cakes for about 30 minutes, until a tester
inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool
the cakes for 20 minutes in their pans, then tip out onto
a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature.

The cakes can be baked a day ahead, wrapped and

stored at room temperature before frosting.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE FUDGE

FROSTING:
1. For the frosting, place the chocolate and cream in a
metal bowl and place it over a pot of barely simmering
water. Stir the chocolate and cream occasionally and
gently until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture
is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in
the sour cream, vanilla and salt. Let the mixture cool
completely to room temperature, stir occasionally (you
can chill the mixture for just a few minutes to start it
setting, then let it continue to cool naturally at room
temperature). Once cooled to a thicker consistency,
whisk by hand to thicken just until spreadable
consistency (do not whip vigorously or with electric
beaters).
2. Place the first cake layers on your serving plate and,
if needed, trim the cake to level it. Spread a generous
layer of the frosting over the top of the cake. Trim the
second cake, if needed and place this on top of the first
cake layer. Spread frosting over the top and then the
sides of the cake, using swirling motion with your
spatula to create a nice design. Chill the cake for at least
2 hours, or until ready to serve.
3. The cake will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
4. ENJOY YOUR CHOCOLATE CAKE.
