How to Make Chocolate Almond Fudge Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans, or line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and almonds.
- 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 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the milk, until light and fluffy. Stir in the almond extract.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of frosting. Top with a layer of toasted almonds. Repeat with the remaining layers.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
