How to Make Outrageous Chocolate Cranberry Fudge Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/3 cups chocolate chips, butter, and unsweetened chocolate. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup cranberry sauce and 1 cup of sugar until well combined.
  5. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
  7. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine heavy cream and the remaining 2/3 cup chocolate chips.
  11. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  12. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup cranberry sauce until well combined.
  13. Once the cake is completely cool, pour glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until glaze is set.
  15. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
