Chocolate Fudge Cake Recipe

Preheat oven to 160C (320F). Line the bottom of a 9X5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and grease with butter.

In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Chop the chocolate into small pieces, transfer to a large heat-proof bowl, add butter. Place the bowl over a double boiler and melt completely.

Remove from heat, add both sugars, oil, and mix until combined. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Add eggs and stir until incorporated.

Sift in dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.

Add boiling coffee and mix until combined.

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Meanwhile, make the ganache: Chop the chocolate, place in a large bowl. In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Let cool for 10-20 minutes.

Release the cake from the tin, pour the ganache over the cake, sprinkle some chocolate shavings, and let set.
