Sometimes, you spend your day craving chocolate, and the idea keeps lingering in the back of your mind.
We all know this feeling doesn’t go away until you get your dose of that heavenly sweet.
So, if you must have chocolate, you should do it in style with a piece of our super velvety chocolate fudge cake.
Primarily, we recommend using a hand beater to mix all the ingredients. However, if you don’t have one, a whisk works just fine.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Simple Chocolate Fudge Cake
Can I use a different kind of chocolate spread?
Of course. While Nutella spread is what we recommend, you can definitely use other brands of chocolate spread.
Is there something else I can replace the dark chocolate in the recipe with?
Yes. If you don’t prefer using dark chocolate, you can replace it with milk chocolate.
Doesn’t the whole cup of cocoa powder with only one cup of sugar make the cake come out a little bitter?
Not at all. Remember, there’s also the chocolate and Nutella cream. So, it comes out perfectly sweet.
