Comment préparer Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake

**Preheat & Prep:** Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake tins.
**Dry Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 200g all-purpose flour, 50g unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 tsp baking powder.
**Cream Butter & Sugar:** In a large bowl, cream together 200g softened unsalted butter and 200g granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Zest 1 orange and add the zest to the butter mixture.
**Melt Chocolate:** In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt 150g dark chocolate until smooth. Stir until well combined.
**Incorporate Eggs:** Lightly whisk 4 large eggs and gradually add them to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
**Combine Wet & Dry:** Gently fold in the melted chocolate, then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
**Bake:** Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
**Cool:** Let the cakes cool in the tins for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
**Slice & Layer:** Once cooled, carefully slice each cake horizontally to create 4 layers. Spread a thin layer of your favorite jam (approximately 50g) between each layer.
**Fudge Coating:** In a medium saucepan, combine 100g unsalted butter, 50ml water, and 200g caster sugar. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
**Simmer & Combine:** Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove from heat. In a separate bowl, sift together 100g icing sugar and 25g unsweetened cocoa powder.
**Make Fudge:** Gradually pour the hot butter mixture into the sifted cocoa and icing sugar, whisking until smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
**Frost Cake:** Quickly pour the fudge coating over the layered cake, spreading evenly to coat the top and sides.
**Chill & Serve:** Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the fudge coating to set before serving and enjoying your delicious creation!
