When I am looking for a show stopping dessert, I often pull out my recipe for my Decadent Triple Chocolate Bundt cake. It uses a packaged cake mix and comes together quickly.

When I’m looking for something with a richer, homemade flavor, this decadent chocolate fudge cake hits the mark.

The cake itself is simply heavenly. Rich and moist chocolate cake with a hint of coffee is topped with a silky chocolate frosting that will make you swoon.

The recipe is a little reminiscent of my Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes but I don’t have to worry with greasing and un-sticking a bunch of little cakes.

Plus, the simple frosting can be poured or drizzled over the top of the moist chocolate fudge cake so the whole dessert comes together quickly without a lot of fuss.

If you are a chocolate lover like me, you will definitely want to add this fudge cake recipe to your repertoire!

Using Coffee In Fudge Cake

If you aren’t a coffee lover, you may be hesitant to add coffee to this cake.

Coffee is often added to baked goods to add depth to chocolate flavors, which it does in this easy chocolate fudge cake recipe.

It also adds moisture so this cake is moist and decadent in every bite.

The coffee flavor is subtle and not overwhelming, and most people won’t even recognize it as an ingredient. If you are completely opposed to coffee, feel free to use water in its place.

When it comes to choosing the coffee you use in this cake, select a coffee that you enjoy drinking. I prefer to use freshly brewed coffee or espresso that has been cooled.

If you don’t have fresh coffee on hand you can substitute instant coffee or espresso.

How to Make Easy Chocolate Fudge Cake.

It’s really easy to make moist chocolate fudge cake.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Cake:

• Flour
• Sugar
• Cocoa Powder
• Baking Soda
• Salt
• Butter
• Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
• Brewed Coffee
• Eggs
• Sour Cream
• Vanilla Extract

For the Icing:

• Powdered Sugar
• Cocoa Powder
• Milk

How to Make It:

(Full printable recipe is available below)

Prepare the equipment. First, you’ll preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt pan well and dust it with cocoa powder.

Prepare the dry ingredients. Then, you’ll combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Melt the chocolate. Then, you’ll melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add in chocolate chips and stir until melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.

Mix the wet ingredients. Then, in a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs and coffee until combined.

Slowly add warm butter/chocolate mixture, along with sour cream and vanilla extract, to the coffee mixture, mixing well to combine.

Make the batter. Next, Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated and batter is smooth.

Bake and cool. Then, pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove pan from oven and set aside to cool for five minutes. Carefully run a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen the cake, and invert pan onto a cooling rack.

After about 15 minutes, lift pan off of cake and allow to cool completely.

Ice the cake. Last, you’ll prepare icing by combining powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add in milk and stir until smooth.

Drizzle or pour icing over the top of cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Notes and Adaptations:

• Using brewed coffee enhances the chocolate flavors in this cake, but you can use water instead if you prefer.
• I recommend full-fat sour cream (baking with sour cream adds moisture), but you can use lower-fat if preferred. I don’t recommend using fat free sour cream. Full fat or lower fat Greek yogurt can be used instead, if desired.
