Three Layer Chocolate Fudge Cake

Ingredients:

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour

• 2½ cups granulated sugar

• 1 cup cocoa powder

• 1 tbsp corn starch

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• 2½ tsp baking soda

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1¼ cup buttermilk

• 1 cup room temperature coffee

• ⅔ cup vegetable oil

• 3 large eggs

• 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste or extract

Icing

• 1 bag of semisweet chocolate chips

• 2 (4 oz) bars of Bittersweet chocolate or 60% cacao

• ½ cup corn syrup

• 1 cup heavy cream

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, corn starch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir with a whisk to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.

3. Add buttermilk, coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla to the dry mixture. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, mix until the batter is velvety smooth.

4. Grease three 8-inch baking pans and optionally dust with cocoa powder.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the three pans and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Allow the cakes to cool completely before icing.

For the icing:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and bittersweet chocolate in the microwave. Stir at 30-second intervals until fully melted.

2. Add in the corn syrup and heavy cream to the melted chocolate and mix well.

3. Refrigerate the icing until it's firm enough to spread onto the cake.

Indulge in the velvety layers of moist chocolate cake, sandwiched between luscious fudge icing, and let each bite melt in your mouth. This 3 layer chocolate fudge cake is a true celebration of all things chocolate and a must-try for any serious chocolate lover.
