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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
