Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) then grease and flour your baking pans (or spray with bake easy). Use either 2 9" rounds, 2 8" x 2" deep rounds, or a 9 x 13 baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, corn starch, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until all of the cocoa powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- Add the eggs, coconut oil, vanilla extract and water, then stir to combine. Mix until all of the flour is incorporated and the batter is smooth. Transfer the batter into your prepared cake pans and divide evenly between each round.
- Bake your 9 inch cake rounds or a 9 x 13 cake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30-32 minutes, and your 8 inch deep cake pans for 35-38 minutes. Your cakes are done when the tops are springy to the touch and an inserted tooth pick comes out clean.
- Remove your cakes pans from the oven and allow the cake rounds to cool for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add your 12 ounces of chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments until fully melted. Stir in the butter (sliced in tablespoon sized butter pats) until melted, then add the can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir an incorporate into the melted chocolate until smooth.
- Once your cake rounds are cooled, level off the layers by slicing off any rounded portion on the top of the cake. Place onto a cake round to work, or any plate that you will be serving your cake on.
- Spread your frosting between layers in an even layer that is not too thick (about 1/4 inch) and then add the next layer. Repeat for a filling layer, or begin to frost your entire cake by covering the top of the cake and working to spread the frosting down until the entire cake is covered.
- * If you baked in a 9 x 13 cake pan, you can simply frost your entire cake once the cake is cooled completely in the pan. ** For a final touch (that looks so much better!) grate some chocolate over the cake.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 4 and grease and line a deep, 20cm round cake tin. Whizz the chocolate in a food processor until crumbs. Tip the flour, sugar, cocoa, oil, 150ml soured cream, eggs, vanilla and 150ml water into the largest mixing bowl you have. Whisk with an electric whisk until smooth, then quickly stir in 150g of your whizzed-up chocolate bits. Scrape into a tin, and bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr 20-1 hr 30 mins, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin.
- While the cake is baking, make the icing. Combine remaining chocolate bits and soured cream with 2 tbsp soft brown sugar in a small saucepan and heat, stirring, until the chocolate is melted and you have a smooth icing. Leave to cool.
- When the cake is cool, slice it into 3 even layers. Spread 2 layers with chocolate icing.
- To make the angel frosting, put the sugar, vanilla and liquid glucose in a pan with 125ml water. Bring to the boil and cook just until the sugar has melted and the syrup turns clear. Take off the heat. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff, then continue beating, gradually pouring in the hot sugar syrup in a steady stream, until the mixture is fluffy and thick enough to spread - this might take a few mins as the mixture cools. Beat in the icing sugar. Work quickly and spread a tiny bit over each chocolate-covered layer. Assemble cake and swirl remaining frosting over entire cake.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE

Tips:
- To ensure perfect cake layers, use a digital kitchen scale to accurately measure your ingredients, and be careful not to overmix the batter.
- For a rich, fudgy texture, use a combination of melted chocolate and cocoa powder in the cake batter.
- To prevent the cake from drying out, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the frosting by hand using a whisk. Just be sure to whisk vigorously until the frosting is thick and fluffy.
- To create a smooth, glossy finish on the frosting, use a metal spoon to stir in the melted chocolate until it is completely combined.
- For a more decadent frosting, add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to the frosting mixture.
- To decorate the cake, you can use chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or even fresh berries.
