I always wanted to bake a chocolate cake & after much hunting I found the recipe for the double chocolate fudge cake on purplefoodie.com which is easy to make & requires common kitchen ingredients. You must visit her site cuz the recipes are just too good! Plus the pictures are amazing & really get u hungry while you simply stare at them 🙂 I am a big fan of purplefoodie so please do visit the website.
Coming back to this amazing chocolate cake – its a simple recipe which does not require too much time or expensive stuff. No slaving over the frosting or ganache by trying to make everything from scratch. Delicious & serves the purpose especially if you want to present a fancy dessert to your guests who drop in on short notice. Preparation time takes an hour and half including baking time. This cake is a fusion of two different cake ideas and it was a big hit. I tried it with a seasonal fruit which is Mango, but you can skip the fruit if your taste buds crave nothing but pure chocolate!
