How To Make awesome fudge butter cake

  • 1
    In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • 2
    In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the sugar and 1/2 cup butter until it is creamy. Crack eggs into a dish and add vanilla--DO NOT BEAT. Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time and mix for two minutes between each egg. Scrape sides of bowl if necessary.
  • 3
    Slowly add the dry mixture to the running mixer, making sure each addition is well incorporated. Pour batter evenly into two 8-inch greased and floured cake pans.
  • 4
    Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • 5
    Cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack; allow to cool for 40 minutes on rack.
  • 6
    PREPARE FROSTING: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate, just 10 seconds at a time until just melted. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • 7
    Add the chocolate and butter to a large bowl and beat with electric mixer until it combines. After 2 minutes add the powdered sugar and the milk. When smooth, frost the cake layers and serve immediately.
