Steps of Chocolate Fudge Cake Recipe

#	Steps
1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray, then line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4.	Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5.	Gradually stir in the hot water, mixing until the batter is smooth.
6.	Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
7.	Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before removing them.
8.	While the cakes cool, prepare the chocolate fudge frosting. In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth.
9.	Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined.
10.	Add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
11.	Once the cakes are cool, remove them from the pans and place one cake layer on a serving plate.
12.	Spread a generous amount of frosting on top of the cake layer, then place the second cake layer on top.
13.	Cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting, smoothing the top and sides with a spatula.
14.	Serve the chocolate fudge cake immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

To ensure that your cake layers come out perfectly, be sure to grease your pans well and line them with parchment paper. Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for a few minutes until it curdles. For an extra-rich chocolate flavor, try adding a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the hot water before adding it to the batter. To make the frosting extra smooth, sift the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder before adding them to the butter. Enjoy your delicious and decadent chocolate fudge cake!
