Ingredients
For the chocolate fudge cake, you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frosting, you’ll need:
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
For the topping, you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
Making the Cake
First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, then mix until combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans.
Making the Frosting
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and milk, then mix until combined.
Assembling the Cake
Carefully remove the cakes from the pans. Place one cake layer on a plate or cake stand. Spread half of the frosting over the top. Place the second cake layer on top of the first. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle the pecans or walnuts, followed by the marshmallows, over the top of the cake.
