the best double chocolate fudge cake 🤎 i’ve literally never made anything prettier, yet ;) recipe : chocolate cake: 1¼ cup sugar (250 g) 2 large eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract (10 ml) 1 cup milk (240 ml) ½ cup neutral oil (120 ml) 1½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g) 1 cup cocoa powder (100 g) 1½ tsp baking soda (7 g) 1½ tsp baking powder (7 g) 1 tsp salt (5 g) 1 tsp instant espresso powder (3 g) 1 cup hot coffee/water (240ml) mix the eggs and sugar until combined. add the vanilla. milk. and oil and whisk until smooth. in a seperate bowl sift dry ingredients together then add to wet and mix until fully combined. pour hot coffee into the mixture and mix until smooth ( it should be thin ) bake at 350•F for 25-30 mins. ( or until a toothpick comes out clean ) (i doubled this recipe to make three 8-inch cake layers and used about 3½ cups of batter in each pan.) let cakes cool completely chocolate cremeux 1¾ cups heavy cream (420 g) 6 egg yolks ¼ cup sugar (50 g) 14 oz dark chocolate (397 g) 4 tbsp butter (56 g) ½ tsp salt (3 g) heat the cream in a saucepan until steaming. in a bowl whisk the egg yolks and sugar. slowly pour the hot cream into the yolks while whisking. return everything to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon. pour the hot mixture over the chopped chocolate and let sit 1 minute. add butter and use an immersion blender to completely blend the mixture. ( you can also use a whisk just make sure to mix rly well ) let the crèmeux cool until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. (2-3 hrs) ( if your cremeux gets too thick warm up in 5 second intervals until it’s the correct consistency) spread between cake layers.( doubled this as well ) ganache: 2 1/4 cups heavy cream (540g) 17.25 oz chocolate (489g) pour hot heavy cream over chopped chocolate and let sit 2 minutes. stir until smooth. let it cool until thick and spreadable, then frost the cake. to assemble cut each cake in half spread the crèmeux between each cake layer. i also spread a thin layer over the top and sides before frosting with ganache once the filling sets slightly, frost the cake with ganache and decorate as desired (i pressed mini chocolate chips around the sides.) #chocolate #fudge #cake #Recipe #baking - @sugarspiceddreams
