Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
Frosting
- Fudge frosting, enough to cover the cooled cake (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. Add the eggs and mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Bake the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely.
- Frost the cake: Once the cake is completely cool, spread the fudge frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- You can substitute eggs with an egg replacer for a vegan version, using an alternative frosting.
- For extra moistness, add 1/2 cup of sour cream or buttermilk to the batter.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
