Chocolate Fudge Cake Ingredients 

I used simple to find but perfect Ingredients.
For this recipe.

• White granulated sugar
• unsweetened cocoa powder
• baking powder
• vegetable oil
• pure vanilla extract
• milk
• instant coffee powder
• heavy cream
• dark chocolate chips

Flour: Just like with my many chocolate cake recipes I went for all purpose flour.

Sugar: White granulated sugar or you can use natural graduated baking sweetener. 

Cocoa powder: A teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.

Baking powder: 2 teaspoons of baking powder. If I had used both baking powder and baking soda then I would have added a teaspoon of baking powder and a teaspoon of baking soda.

Salt: Salt adds to the flavour. I added a teaspoon of salt.

Oil: I always used oil in my chocolate cakes because of how drying cocoa powder is.

Eggs: 2 eggs at room temperature.

Vanilla extract: What's a chocolate cake recipe without that vanilla flavour?

Milk: I always used full cream milk in most of my cake recipes but other bakers prefer using buttercream.

Water: It's a custom that you use hot water in your chocolate cake. There are no two ways about it.

Coffee powder: I added 2 teaspoons of instant coffee powder.

Heavy cream & Chocolate chips: The heavy cream and chocolate chips is for the ganache.
