Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot brewed coffee
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the fudge topping:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth.
- Stir in hot coffee until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the fudge topping, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat, add chocolate chips and butter, and stir until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the warm fudge topping over the cooled cake. Let set slightly before slicing.
Notes
- Use espresso instead of coffee for a richer chocolate flavor.
- The cake can be made a day in advance and stored at room temperature.
- Top with berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
