Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best taste.
  • 2 cups granulated sugar Adds sweetness to balance the cocoa bitterness.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Provides structure to the cake.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Leavening agent to help the cake rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs Use room temperature for best results.
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted Adds richness to the cake.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Makes the cake extra luscious.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances overall flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray, optionally lining the bottom with parchment paper.

Mixing

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the melted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Baking

  • Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently mixing to combine. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  • Top the chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality cocoa for the best flavor, and ensure ingredients are at room temperature for better blending. Letting the cake cool completely enhances the flavors. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for a couple of days.
