Cake Ingredients
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup whole milk
Salted Fudge Frosting Ingredients
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. Add eggs, oil, and milk, then mix until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
- Make the Salted Fudge Frosting: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chopped chocolate with butter, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in sea salt.
- Frost the Cake: Spread the salted fudge frosting evenly over the cooled cake using a spatula or knife. Let the frosting set slightly before serving for best texture.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with canola or melted coconut oil if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of sea salt in the frosting to suit your taste.
- For extra richness, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet in the frosting.
