Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 oz (2 sq.) semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 c hot water
1/4 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
1/4 c sour cream
2 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c buttermilk
1 1/2 c cake flour
2 Tbsp dutch processed cocoa, unsweetened
1/4 tsp espresso powder
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
NUTTY FUDGE FROSTING
1 Tbsp butter
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 c nutella
1/4 c smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 c powdered sugar, approximately
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1-2 tsp milk or water
1 c crushed cashews
CHOCOLATE GLAZE
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
5 tsp water
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp white corn syrup
1 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Cake: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 10" spring-form pan with parchment paper. Grease and dust the sides and bottom of pan with flour. Set aside. Combine the chocolate squares with the hot water; stir until melted and set aside to cool.
  • 2. Cream butter on high speed of mixer until fluffy; gradually add sugar and beat well. Add the eggs to batter one at a time; mix in vanilla. Stir in the melted chocolate and sour cream.
  • 3. Combine dry ingredients and add to batter, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Blend on low speed after each addition just enough to incorporate mixture; do not overbeat. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for approximately 35 - 45 minutes or until center of cake tests done. A few crumbs on the cake tester (or toothpick) is okay as this is a dense and moist cake. Cool before frosting.
  • 4. Nutty Fudge Frosting: Stir together all ingredients except the crushed cashews; gradually add a small amount of milk/water to thin the frosting for spreading consistency only. It is a thick frosting. Remove cake from pan and spread with frosting on sides and top of cooled cake. Top with the crushed cashews. Place in refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes or longer to cool and set icing. Prepare chocolate glaze and drizzle over cooled cake; return the cake to refrigerator for several hours before serving.
  • 5. Easy Chocolate Glaze: Place all ingredients in a sauce pan on low heat. Stir and cook ONLY until butter melts. Remove from heat and drizzle over cooled frosted cake. Note: This makes extra glaze that can be stored in refrigerator several days, reheated and poured over other "goodies". You can half the glaze recipe if you prefer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your fudge will taste. Use real butter, good quality chocolate, and fresh nuts.
  • Don't overcook the fudge: Fudge is a delicate confection, and it's easy to overcook it. Cook it just until it reaches the desired consistency, then remove it from the heat.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator: Fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
  • Be creative with your toppings: You can add a variety of toppings to your fudge, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or dried fruit.

Conclusion:

Nutty chocolate fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and crunchy nuts, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
