Chocolate Fudge Cake With Ganache Frosting | Recipe
Warning; This is NOT a healthy recipe…but it is a delicious one.
The Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups All Purpose Flour
- ¾ Cup Cocoa Powder
- 2 oz Baking Chocolate (shaved)
- 1 ½ Cups Sugar
- 1 ½ tsp Baking Soda
- 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Milk
- ½ Cup Coconut Oil (melted)
- 3 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup Boiling Water
The Ganache Frosting
- 4 Tbsp Butter
- 2 oz Baking Chocolate (shaved)
Putting It Together
Combine your Flour, Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Salt into a large bowl. Stir to combine.
Add in your Eggs, Milk, Vanilla and melted Coconut Oil, mix well.
Now, here comes my favorite part…the chocolate
Add your shaved chocolate to the batter...
Mixing just until combined…and try to keep those little fingers out..I dare you.
Then we are going to add the boiling water and mix well. The batter will be very thin, but trust me it will turn out perfectly.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until middle of cake is firm, remove and let cool.
The Ganache
Stir frequently, until you end up with this glorious texture.
Then just simply pour the Ganache over the cake and smooth around edges. Place the cake in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let the frosting set up.
Then dive in...
Thank you for reading,
Oh man, that looks amazing! I know you said it's not healthy but I am pretty sure it is. :D
It's healthy for your mind and soul 😉. Thank you so much!
I mean honestly, it is healthier than buying the prepackaged stuff from the store...so...win-win!
Holy yum dude. I want this sooo much.
Thank you!! It's indulgent...but oh so good ❤
I love the photo with the little marauding fingers! What a great cake since you can just mix it up with a wooden spoon. My kids love recipes like that. I don't have any coconut oil; would canola oil or melted shortening work as well?
Yes! I'm sorry my reply is so late and oil would work including butter (thanks @amymya ❤), canola, olive, or even applesauce in place of oil all together.
Thank you!I love when recipes are this easy...and the kiddos fingers just wouldn't stay out, so I thought I would include a "real life" moment. Haha.
Thank you both for the response! :) and the real life moment made it extra cute!
Butter probably would...
It's a dang good thing I have a fresh baked devil's food cake in the kitchen right now, or I'd be too envious to type! I'm putting the ingredients for this on my shopping list, and I plan to make it in the very near future. Oh, and I've pinned this for good measure. I thank you, my tummy thanks you, but my hips are already not happy... LOL!

Glad you enjoyed it Tanish 😂
I can't decide which part I would want to taste first. The ooey gooey looking cake or the fudgy icing. My word.... this needs to get on in my belly. I LOVE CHOCOLATE and this looks amazing! I have company coming in 2 weeks and this may be perfect to make. Thank you!
Chocolate cakeeeeee..... I am not good at baking I am afraid. Any resemblance of what I do to that beautiful cake would be mere coincidence. 😶
