Chocolate Fudge Cake

The Devil's Best Companion

Or: "Probably The Best Chocolate Fudge Cake On Earth"

Choc Fudge Cake that is waiting to be eaten
accompanied by Chopin's Nocturne to let the Wild Child out

This too delicious cake is quite worth a sin. Or two! 

What you will need...
For the cake:
250g Self Raising Flour (if you don’t have self rising flour you can use 250g all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon baking powder + 3/4 teaspoon salt)
325g Caster Sugar
1/4 teaspoons Bicarbonate of Soda
3 heaped tablespoons Cocoa
250g Butter
250ml Coca Cola
125ml Milk
2 Medium Eggs
1tsp Vanilla Extract

For the - to die for - frosting:
200g Butter
4 tbsp Coca Cola
3 heaped tbsp Cocoa
400g Icing sugar

For decoration (if wanted): 
a bar white chocolate 

Grated White Chocolate

Start Chopin's Nocturne to set the mood for inspirational baking. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda. Melt the butter together with the coca cola and then add to the dry ingredients along with the milk, eggs and vanilla. Gently combine before putting in a lightly greased cake tin. Bake at 180 degrees for 40 mins or until a knife comes out clean. Now let it cooooool down! 

For the frosting melt the coca cola with the butter and pour into the icing sugar. Add the cocoa and beat until smooth and thick, let it cool slightly (max. 3 minutes) and then spread over the cake. If wanted, decorate with grated white chocolate. 

If you are not already pulled by your desire to taste, put the cake into the fridge to let the icing set firm. 

Very Fudgy Fudge
