Basic Chocolate Fudge Cake
This rich and indulgent chocolate fudge cake is a timeless classic. With a moist, fudgy texture and deep chocolate flavor, it's the perfect treat for any occasion. Simple to make and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients
- 250g unsalted butter, chopped
- 300g dark (70%) chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dutch cocoa, sifted
- ½ cup (125ml) milk
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup (220g) caster (superfine) sugar
- ½ cup (85g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (150g) plain (all-purpose) flour
Instructions
- Place the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat and stir until melted and smooth. Add the cocoa and milk and stir to combine. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Place the eggs and both the sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk on high speed for 12–15 minutes or until pale, thick and creamy.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and whisk, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until just combined. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour and whisk until just combined.
- Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
- Lightly grease a 22cm round springform cake tin and line with non-stick baking paper.
- Pour the cake mixture into the tin and bake for 1 hour – 1 hour 10 minutes or until set+. Allow to cool completely in the tin.
- Remove the cake from the tin to serve. Serves 8–10
Notes
- The cake is ready when it feels set to the touch. If tested, a wooden skewer will not come out clean – the cake will set with a fudgy centre as it cools.
