Buttermilk Chocolate Cake

Buttermilk Chocolate Cake with Fudge Icing recipe.

Recipe ingredients

235 ml buttermilk
10 g baking soda
400 g white sugar
2 eggs
15 g unsweetened cocoa powder
120 ml vegetable oil
10 ml vanilla extract
235 ml boiling water
250 g all-purpose flour

200 g white sugar
45 g unsweetened cocoa powder
60 ml milk
55 g butter
5 ml vanilla extract

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk and baking soda. Set aside in a warm place.

  • In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups sugar, eggs, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, oil and 2 teaspoons vanilla until blended. Stir in the boiling water, then gradually beat in the flour. Stir in the buttermilk mixture.

  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

  • To make the Fudge Icing: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, milk, butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Using an electric mixer, beat icing for 3 minutes, or until it thickens to spreading consistency. Pour over completely cooled cake.
