Method
Cake Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Together
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Fudge Layer Preparation
Layer the Fudge
Once the cake layers have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Pour half of the fudge mixture over the first layer, spreading it to the edges. Place the second cake layer on top and pour the remaining fudge over it.
