It&#8217;s my absolute favourite chocolate cake recipe combined with an easy caramel frosting. The cake is pretty foolproof and the buttercream makes use of pre-made caramel for extra ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This is a fantastic celebration cake. Feel free to half the quantities of ingredients if making for fewer people, as it is rather large! The cake relies on lots of liquids, and has oil as the base rather than butter for a really moist and rich cake. It also has a whole hot chocolate poured into the batter for extra chocolate goodness. The frosting is made using just butter, caramel\/dulce de leche and icing sugar. I use the squeeze bottles of caramel you can find in most UK supermarkets, but any pre-made jar\/tin will work! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This cake is a really fabulous option for birthdays, celebrations or just to make on a Sunday when you fancy putting some time into creating something delicious. You could opt to make a naked cake or just add frosting in between layers instead of all over. I do find this to be fairly heavy, but just what you want for big occasions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Allow yourself enough time for the cake to cool before frosting. Hands on time is entirely up to you depending on how special you want the decoration to be! The buttercream makes enough to top the entire cake. Adjust if you want to pipe extra on top, or if you only want to use a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate Fudge Cake with Caramel Frosting\" class=\"wp-image-2847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for the best Chocolate Fudge Cake with Caramel Frosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-list\"><li>Cocoa Powder: As this is a key part of any chocolate cake, try to get yourself the higher quality variety.<\/li><li>Batter: The batter will be fairly runny, but that\u2019s what keeps it moist. Be careful when pouring it into the tin, but trust the process!<\/li><li>Oil: Use vegetable or sunflower. Try not to use anything flavoured like extra virgin olive oil or peanut oil, otherwise this will overpower the other flavours.<\/li><li>Buttercream: Make sure your butter is room temperature before using to prevent the mixture splitting\/becoming grainy.<\/li><li>Hot Chocolate: I essentially make a hot chocolate to pour into the batter. This is where the hot chocolate powder, boiling water and milk come in. This just adds an extra chocolate-y moisture bomb.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I make my Chocolate Fudge Cake with Caramel Frosting 8\u2033 circular cake tins (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B07Q5GZ3RL\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B07Q5GZ3RL&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=tastingthyme-21&amp;linkId=900d8fbe4c7924258fa7a70047f84b60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">just like these<\/a>) and recommend a high speed mixer for when combining the dry and wet ingredients (with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B0828CKSFC\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B0828CKSFC&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=tastingthyme-21&amp;linkId=05d2d347849771648718dbec6b6db060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a mixer like this<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-2848\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"2848\" data-servings=\"14\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-tt-cutout\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-circle\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 5px;border-style: solid;border-color: #ef8080;width: 200px;max-width: 100%;height: 200px;object-fit: cover;\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-200x999999 size-200x999999\" alt=\"Chocolate Fudge Cake with Caramel Frosting\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_1823-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-template-tt-cutout-container\">\n\t<div class=\"wprm-recipe-template-tt-cutout-header\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Chocolate Fudge Cake with Caramel Frosting<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 5px;\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal\"><span style=\"display: block;\">I made this for my partner&#39;s 30th birthday and it was SUCH a hit that I knew I needed to share it!
