And I realized, while I’ve got recipes for Red Wine Chocolate Cake and Whiskey Chocolate Cake and Lemon Cake with Fudge Frosting, I’d never actually posted a recipe for a damn good chocolate cake, your basic chocolate on chocolate, the kind Taylor requests each and every year for his birthday, and the kind I usually deny him in lieu of something ‘weird’ (see: aforementioned red wine chocolate cake, which, while good, is definitely not plain).
Hi everyone, I hope you all are enjoying the weekend.
Until May 16 you will see a lot of Norwegian flags on my cakes, after all, Norwegian national day May 17 is coming up and I want to show some easy cakes, to make for this big day. If you have followed me for a while now, you know that I love simple cakes, that just melt in your mouth and want you to have another bite.
A very chocolatey, moist Chocolate Fudge Cake that is similar to chocolate mud cake, but not as dense. Made with both melted chocolate and cocoa, AND topped with chocolate ganache, this one is sure to satisfying your chocolate cravings!
Super easy to make, very forgiving, no stand mixer or beater. Just one bowl and a wooden spoon!

½ cup water
1-⅔ cups flour

3 eggs
¾ cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla.
