How to Make Best Ever Rich Chocolate Fudge Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until smooth.
- Gradually add 1 ¾ cups packed light brown sugar, then beat in 4 large eggs one at a time.
- Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Beat in 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 1 cup (6 ounces) melted unsweetened chocolate, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup sour cream.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat on low speed until just combined.
- Carefully pour in 1 cup boiling water and stir until blended. The batter will be thin.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
