However, this chocolate cake should totally come with a warning label that reads, “Highly Addictive! Taste at your own risk!”
It is the dangerous combination of my famous The Best Chocolate Cake {Ever} recipe and my Grandmother’s Fudge Icing recipe. Talk about a match made in heaven!!!

The Best Chocolate Cake with Fudge Icing Recipe
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F. Prepare rimmed kitchen sheet pan with nonstick baking spray, brushing with homemade cake pan release (cake goop), or by coating with shortening and dusting lightly with flour, being sure to remove all excess flour.
- Prepare batter as directed and pour into rimmed sheet pan. Use an offset spatula to make sure the batter is distributed evenly. Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake slightly pulls away from the edges and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake. You can follow my tips for how to tell when your cake is done. Allow the cake to cool slightly, about 10-15 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the Fudge Icing recipe as directed. Pour the icing over the top of the cake, making sure to pour over the entire cake and allow it to coat. Only spread with a knife or offset spatula if absolutely needed because it will change the look of the icing on the cake.
- Allow the cake and icing to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Cut into individual pieces and serve.

Hi Robyn. I googled chocolate cake recipes yesterday and found yours. I made it with just one slight alteration and entered it in the county fair. I used my own icing recipe. I still don’t know how it tastes because it is sitting at the fair display with a First Prize ribbon on it. Thought I’d share that! Thanks!
Wow ! I’m gonna try this recipe?
I made th I cake for my daughter’s birthday and she simply loved it. Actually everyone can’t seem to be getting enough of the cake. I have baked many so called ultimate and best chocolate cakes by far this one tops the list. Thank you and God bless Robyn.

OH EM GEE I can’t handle the frosting. Would it be bad to make a double batch, all for one cake?!
Oh my gosh, my family would go crazy insane for this! It is probably one of our favorite desserts! Looks so good!
