How to Make Brownie Fudge Layer Cake Light
- **Make the Icing:** In a small food processor or bowl, beat together all icing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate while preparing the cakes.
- **Preheat & Prep:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- **Melt Chocolate:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of water in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a large bowl, beat together the melted chocolate mixture, 1 ½ cups sugar, ¾ cup cocoa powder, 1 large egg, 2 large egg whites, ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup corn syrup, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour and 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder.
- **Combine Wet & Dry:** Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- **Bake:** Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Cool:** Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Frost & Assemble:** Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of icing on top. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining icing.
- **Garnish:** Sprinkle with powdered sugar or chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
