  • Here’s a simple recipe for that perfectly soft, bouncy and fluffy chocolate cake for any holiday or dinner table!
    Ingredients used
    For the cake
    1 box Duncan Hines chocolate fudge mix
    1 3.4oz pk instant chocolate pudding mix
    4 eggs @ room temperature
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 cup vegetable oil
    1 cup whole milk
    1 Tbsp instant coffee
    1 Tbsp dark cocoa powder (I use Dutch processed)
    For the chocolate frosting
    2 cups of whole milk
    1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
    4 Tbsp AP flour
    1 cup of sugar
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    6 Tbsp of salted butter
    Mix the cake ingredients and Pour all the batter into two 9 inch baking pans and bake @ 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the middle must come out clean! Allow to cool down to room temperature before frosting!
