How to Make 1 Pan Fudge Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined – do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
