Description
A moist, fudgy cake with rich pockets of hot fudge that seep into every bite, perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 and 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate this into the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- After cooling for 10 minutes, poke holes all over the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Warm the hot fudge sauce and pour it over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Sprinkle with chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose and Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk. Serve with ice cream or fresh berries.
