Directions
Favorite Fudge Birthday Cake, This is from King Arthur Flour website Really want to try this one – maybe for DH’s birthday since he is a major chocoholic Time for icing to set is not included in cooking time , My 10-yr old daughter has made this cake twice now and it has been AMAZING both times! After the first time, she swore never to use that junk in a box ever again Between the coffee and the dutch cocoa (do NOT substitute with natural cocoa, else science tells us that your cake will be blander, lighter and less fudgie) this cake is incredibly rich and chocolaty! It’s also super fudgy and moist Last time we made it we tried using wet towels around the pan and the result was more moist edges and a more level cake We used white buttercream frosting both times inside and out and it was fabulous She even won 3rd prize in a small local baking competition with this recipe Thanks!
