mega chocolate fudge cake

portionen

methode

This cake is best made using a food processor, as you can simply add everything and blitz it up together, but you can easily make it by hand if you buy ground almonds and grate the chocolate into the mix. Like most desserts, this isn’t exactly the healthiest thing in the world, but it’s absolutely gorgeous. Just make sure you enjoy it as it’s meant to be enjoyed –a special treat every now and then

To make your cake
• Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F/gas 2
• Break up the chocolate, put it into a food processor with the butter, sugar, almonds, 1 tablespoon of the cocoa powder and the salt, and whiz until smooth
• Crack your eggs, one at a time, into the food processor and add the flour
• Whiz again until smooth

To bake your cake
• Get a deep baking dish roughly 25 x 25cm in size
• Butter the dish really well and sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder over it
• Shake it around a bit so it lightly coats the whole surface of the dish
• Pour the cake mixture into the dish, using a spatula to scrape it all out of the processor
• Break the fudge into pieces and sprinkle these over the top of the cake mix, pushing any larger pieces down into the mixture
• Pop the baking dish into the preheated oven and cook for 18 to 20 minutes
• Take the cake out of the oven and stick a fork into the middle of it
• If there’s a little bit of cake mixture on the fork when you pull it out, that’s okay – you want the cake to still be a little moist inside so that it’s nice and squidgy
• However, if it seems a bit wobbly, pop it back into the oven for another 3 to 5 minutes to firm up a bit

To serve your cake
• Let your cake cool slightly and serve it warm and gooey
• Lovely with a dollop of crème fraîche, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a bit of double cream

• from Jamie's Ministry of Food

I want to make this cake into a birthday cake...round and decorate the top of the cake! Do you think this is possible? What would the cake taste like cold? :S Any help would be great!!

9. by caro on 18/08/2011 @ 20:47

At first it wasnt liquid enough in the food processor , so i start paniking but then i mixed it up again i couldnt find fudge where i was so i used milk chocolate and i rolled it up in liquid caramel ,it was delicious <br /> thank you jamie for making good recipes

10. by holly on 18/08/2011 @ 20:00

I made this for my boyfriend for his birthday and he is a MASSIVE chocolate cake lover and he adored it! although.... as i did not have a food processor (being a student) i did it in the blender..... took A LOT longer to do... but 4 hours later it was worth it! recommend to everyone and anyone! (p.s it was my own fault it took so long!)

11. by Kath on 14/08/2011 @ 21:30

This took WAY longer than 18 minutes to cook - more like 35 (and I have a fairly good fan oven)! Also, it needs more fudge... and maybe some choc chips (but maybe I'm just being greedy). It was pretty good though!

12. by Leanne on 26/07/2011 @ 16:22

This is fantastic I have just made it! Yum!<br />

13. by julia on 25/07/2011 @ 12:17

i really want to try this, but i can't find fudge in shops. do you know if i could replace it with something, or if i could make it myself. maybe a recipe for it..? thanks a lot !

14. by kerry on 09/06/2011 @ 11:54

it was very good, me and my mates cook it but at the end we just added random stuff in it, it was a lot better then the recepe =) it was so good

15. by jenny on 27/04/2011 @ 23:45

Such a good cake. All my friends LOVED it and it was very easy to make too!!

16. by Soraya on 18/04/2011 @ 03:59

Hi,<br /> Just wondering, can I make the mix ahead of time and just store it in the fridge until I am ready to bake it? Have people coming for lunch on Good Friday and want everything done before they arrive, so I can just pop in the oven when its time for dessert!

17. by shefali on 09/04/2011 @ 12:20

Wondering how it would come out without adding fudge coz we dont get fudge in shops in India.....

18. by Mel on 22/12/2010 @ 00:15

This recipe is sooooo gooood. It's goooey gold!!! The first time I made it I only had half an hour to make the cake AND have a shower, get dressed, wrap a present... The process time only took about 5 minutes and the cook time was only about 18 minutes (in my new oven...it would have taken about 40 minutes in my old oven..LOL)!!!... I got ready while it cooked and when it was done I whisked it into the car (in the tin and all) went to lunch with family and after our meal I asked the waiter if I could bring the cake in to sing Happy Birthday. The lovely waiter obliged and even brought us plates so that we could eat and share it... The cake was a huge hit and the warm temperature made it doubley delicious. This is now in my all time favourite List of recipes. Such little effort with massive results... A definate winner!!! Thanks Jamie!!

FAO Emma Lochhead - If you look at the top right section, named ingredients, it clearly states 4 x eggs & 150g self raising flour!!!

22. by D on 03/08/2009 @ 13:10

23. by Emma Lochhead on 15/07/2009 @ 10:53

Hi I wanted to know I was just looking the recipe, How is people ment to know how many eggs to crack and how much flour do you need to put into the mixture?

24. by Rheaaa on 12/07/2009 @ 21:02

Made this on friday night - after i finally finished my exams - it was heaven.
Chocolate fudge cake solves every problem. LOVE IT!

25. by Cilja on 10/07/2009 @ 20:55

I have made this cake twice. The first time i used ordinary cooking chocolate, and the second time i used cooking chocolate with 70% cocoa.
Both times I just didn't bother to bleach the almonds.
And the first time, I put in some fudge with maple syrup (just because we had some).
The cake tasted great both times.

I'm at college taking a cookery course and love the baking section of the course most of all so i found this cake easy enough to make and loved the outcome, i used some cheap tesco value fudge though because it tastes great and surprisingly it worked really well in my fudge.

The first recipie i did out of the ministry of food book and cant wait to make some more dishes and in the spirit of pass it on i might give some recipies to my classmates at college.

Are the bleached almonds essential or could a decent cake be made without these?

37. by b on 27/01/2009 @ 14:53

Hey, this recipe was amazing although I didn't blend it until smooth & I also added coffee to it, the texture of the cake was amazing!!! My bf took this in to work & his managers said it was the best cake they had ever eaten then he told them I had made it... so much so the next day he took the remainding cake in to work & they had an auction for it, hahaha he got £3.00 stapler, a mug & a few other office supplies for a tiny slice, typical i do the graft & he got paid for it lol... I now have to make them a cake weekly, you can easily adapt this recipe... well done xxx

cheers!
