Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate, chopped
- 4 tablespoons shortening, divided
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 ounces mini chocolate morsels
- 1/3 cup chocolate syrup
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter using an electric mixer set to medium speed. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully integrated.
-
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk, stirring until well combined.
- Gradually add this buttermilk mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
-
Add Chocolate Components:
- Gently fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate morsels, melted white chocolate, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients are evenly blended.
-
Prepare the Pan:
- Spoon the batter into a generously greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
-
Bake the Cake:
- Place the Bundt pan in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C). Bake for 1 hour and 25 to 35 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
-
Cool and Drizzle:
- Once baked, immediately invert the cake onto a serving plate. Allow it to cool completely before adding the toppings.
- In the top part of a double boiler, combine 4 ounces of chopped white chocolate with 2 tablespoons of shortening. Heat until the mixture is melted and smooth, then remove from heat.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate mixture over the cooled cake.
-
Finish with Chocolate Drizzle:
- Melt the remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate morsels with 2 teaspoons of shortening in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly, then drizzle over the white chocolate layer.
Enjoy your rich, decadent Chocolate Fudge Cake, perfect for any special occasion or as a delightful indulgence!
