Ingredients:
For the chocolate fudge cake:
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (60ml) hot water or coffee
For the chocolate sauce:
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (90g) dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for sweetness)
For serving:
- Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Vanilla ice cream
- Sizzling hot cast-iron skillet or serving plate
Instructions:
1. Bake the chocolate fudge cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round or square cake pan.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the hot water or coffee to create a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool slightly before cutting into squares or wedges.
2. Make the chocolate sauce:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it begins to simmer (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and stir in the dark chocolate chips and butter until smooth and glossy.
- Add sugar if desired, and set aside.
3. Assemble the sizzling cake:
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or sizzler plate on medium heat until it’s hot (be careful!).
- Place a slice of the chocolate fudge cake onto the hot skillet.
- Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce generously over the cake.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
- Pour a bit of caramel sauce onto the sizzling plate around the cake to create that exciting sizzle!
4. Serve immediately:
- Serve the cake sizzling and bubbling, with spoons ready for everyone to dig in. The contrast of the warm cake, cold ice cream, and rich sauces is divine.
Tips:
- Add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the cake batter for extra texture.
- For a boozy twist, mix a tablespoon of dark rum or bourbon into the chocolate sauce.
- If you don’t have a sizzler plate, serve the cake in warmed individual ramekins for a similar effect.
This Sizzling Chocolate Fudge Cake is a showstopper dessert that combines drama with deliciousness perfect for chocolate lovers!
