EGGLESS DEVILS FOOD CAKE + FROSTING | BEST EVER LAYERED CHOCOLATE CAKE| RICH CHOCO FROSTING
This video is all about making the BEST eggless chocolate cake layered with the most decadent chocolate fudge frosting.
If you want to make a chocolate cake for a special occasion then this is the cake you need. The light devil's food chocolate cake sponge with the indulgent frosting is the perfect combination.
I topped my cake with some lovely chocolate shavings. All you need to do is melt some chocolate, spread in thin on parchment and let it set. Once set, using a bench scraper, scrape the chocolate lengthwise and they'll automatically start rolling. Easy three steps and your chocolate cake garnish is ready!
I have made an eggless version today but you can also make it with egg. Just replace curd with 2 eggs.
Ingredients
For the cake
1 ½ cup (180gms) maida
¾ cup (90gms) cocoa powder
½ tsp (3gms) baking soda
1 tsp (4gms) baking powder
¾ cup (180ml) vegetable oil
1 ½ cup (300gm) caster sugar
1 cup (285gms) curd
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (120ml) milk + 1tsp (5ml) vinegar
For chocolate fudge frosting
1 cup (200gms) butter
2 cups (260gms) icing sugar
1/2 to 3/4 cup cocoa powder *
1 cup (175gms) melted chocolate
1 cup (230ml) warm cream
To top
Chocolate shavings
* Personally, I love making this frosting with cocoa powder, to give it a deep chocolate flavor. That is why I add 3/4 cup cocoa powder here. However, if you want to keep the chocolate flavor more on the sweeter side, then you can reduce the quantity of cocoa powder and add 1/2 cup instead.

Makes a 2-layer, 8-inch cake.
Devil's Food Cake ingredients:
1 ½ cup (195 g) cake and pastry flour
1 ⅓ cup (295 g) superfine (quick dissolve) sugar
½ cup (60 g) Dutch process cocoa powder
¾ tsp (4 g) baking soda
¼ tsp (2 g) salt
½ cup (115 g) cool, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
½ cup (125 ml) hot, strong brewed coffee
½ cup (125 ml) milk
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
2 large large eggs, room temperature
Ingredients for the Fudge Frosting:
12 oz (340 g) semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 ¾ (425 ml) cup whipping cream
½ cup (125 ml) sour cream
½ (3 ml) tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Baking Directions for the Cake:
1. For the cake, preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease 2 8-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment. Dust the sides of the pans with flour, tapping out any excess flour.
2. Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl or into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter cutting it in (if in a large bowl, use electric beaters) until the mixture is a fine crumble (like the texture of fine breadcrumbs) and no large pieces of butter are visible.
3. Stir the hot coffee, milk and vanilla together and add it all at once to the flour mixture, blending until smooth. Break the eggs into a small dish and stir them with a fork and then add them to the batter, again blending on medium speed just until smooth (the batter will be very fluid). Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and tap them on the counter to eliminate any bubbles.
4. Bake the cakes for about 30 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes for 20 minutes in their pans, then tip out onto a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature. The cakes can be baked a day ahead, wrapped and stored at room temperature before frosting.
Directions for the Fudge Frosting
1. For the frosting, place the chocolate and cream in a metal bowl and place it over a pot of barely simmering water. Stir the chocolate and cream occasionally and gently until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the sour cream, vanilla and salt. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature, stir occasionally (you can chill the mixture for just a few minutes to start it setting, then let it continue to cool naturally at room temperature). Once cooled to a thicker consistency, whisk by hand to thicken just until spreadable consistency (do not whip vigorously or with electric beaters).
2. Place the first cake layers on your serving plate and, if needed, trim the cake to level it. Spread a generous layer of the frosting over the top of the cake. Trim the second cake, if needed and place this on top of the first cake layer. Spread frosting over the top and then the sides of the cake, using swirling motion with your spatula to create a nice design. Chill the cake for at least 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
3. The cake will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

BEST CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING you will ever make! ???? | 2 ways to use Chocolate Fudge Frosting ????
If you are looking for a super easy beginner friendly frosting for your cakes and cupcakes, look no further!
This is my Go-To Dark Chocolate Fudge Frosting and when I used this on a Chocolate Cake Video on my YouTube 2 years ago, you guys absolutely loved it!
So, I thought it deserved a video of its own and this time with a variation! I present to you my EPIC Dark Chocolate Fudge Frosting with 2 super indulgent variations!
✅Recipe (Perfect to Pipe 12 Cupcakes or a 6-inch layer cake of 2 layers):
????200 grams Fresh Cream (25% Fat minimum)
????200 grams Dark Chocolate
????100 grams sweetened condensed milk
????100 grams salted butter
????1/2 teaspoon Instant Coffee Powder
????Pinch of Sea Salt
Process:
????Add all the ingredients to a saucepan.
????Start heating on medium heat until everything melts
????Reduce heat to Low and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes stirring continuously so the fudge sauce doesn’t catch at the bottom of saucepan. I’d recommend using a non-stick pan for this
????Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until it’s completely chilled.
????Transfer to a piping bag and pipe swirls or use it as a surprise filling for cupcakes when at room temperature
✅The above is your standard Dark Chocolate Fudge Frosting
✅Variation 2:
????Once your Fudge frosting has chilled thoroughly, whip on a high speed for 3 minutes. It becomes light, fluffy and pipes beautifully on cakes and cupcakes!
Only downside: It is not stable and will keep its shape if piped for about 30 minutes - 1 hour at room temperature and will need refrigeration.
However, works beautifully on layer cakes to give it a rustic look!
