Melting Moments – Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake

May 11, 2016 by maria 13 Comments

The most delectable and most yummiest cakes made until is this Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake!…..Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake is moist, delicious, great texture and tempting. The frosting of this cake is similar to chocobar coating of chocobar icecream. My family and my cute pet loved them. I had loads of fun while making this Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake. It actually melts in your mouth hence the name Melting Moments. The outer crust is firm and crispy inside its soft yum yum cake.

Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake

It’s been long I didn’t bake cakes. As I was busy making cookies, salads and other stuff. I tried peri peri masala and didn’t get a chance to click them. Its over as my mom used all peri peri masala. So I gotto make it fresh again.

This Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake is a treat for chocoholic as it consists of cocoa, dark chocolate chunks and chocolate frosting. So the interior and exterior of the cake is filled only with chocolates. Interesting naa!

I am too excited to share hence impatient to write more 🙂

Pierce the cake with a fork all over. Spread the smooth batter all over the cake with the help of knife Or spoon. The mixture would be nice thick. Keep in fridge. Once the frosting cools down it will be firm and will be similar to a choco bar coating.

Tip:

  • You could skip chocolate paste if not available and replace with plain chocolate
  • Nuts are optional I have used for nutty flavor
  • Please don’t overbake the cake unless you want hard cake.

        Thanks for your quick feedback. Tried using the paste in shakes but it remained aloof from the milk. The two just would not mingle, any suggestion, thanks.

          Could be the paste is thicker or have some ingredients which are not allowing to combine with milk. Try adding with cream or try using as frosting for cake. The chocolate paste I has mixed well with shakes and also added them in cakes.

      Rita choco paste might not be easily available as I had picked up mine from Panchgani. Use only chocolate chunks.

    Hi..I must be honest. I do not like cooking at all!! But your recipes make it sound so simple and delicious that I am actually giving them a try.
    One question though: These cakes require baking,but I have a microwave.I know you have recipes for microwave cakes as well.But what if I want to make this cake in a microwave?Can I use the Convection mode?

      Hi Bina,

      You could replace 1 egg 1with 1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water. Grind them together into a processor until smooth paste is formed. Use this to replace eggs. If using 2 eggs than 2 tbsp flaxseed + 6 tbsp water.

      Love,
      Maria
