1
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, and milk until smooth.
4
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
6
Prepare the Fudge
While the cake is baking, prepare your fudge topping by melting 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
7
Serve
Once the cake is done, let it cool for a few minutes, then pour the warm fudge over the top and serve immediately.
