Fudge Fairy Cake

Ingredients:

For the cake:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the fudge frosting:
– 1 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 4 cups powdered sugar
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well mixed.

5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the fudge frosting. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth.

9. Remove the pan from heat and gradually stir in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the frosting is thick and smooth.

10. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of the fudge frosting on top.

11. Place the second cake layer on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining fudge frosting. You can be as creative as you like in decorating the cake with swirls or patterns.

12. Allow the cake to set for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the frosting set.
