Directions: |
Directions:1). For the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the oil and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy on medium-high speed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the mixer to medium speed and add the eggs one at a time mixing for 1 minute after each addition. Stir in the hot water and vanilla and mix until combined.
2). With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in 3 batches and the buttermilk in 2 batches, alternating, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed and mixing only until just incorporated after each addition.
3). Spray a 9- by 13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Alternatively, you can grease two 6-cup jumbo muffin pans to make Joseph's Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes. The baking time may need to be adjusted.
4). For the Chocolate Fudge Icing, combine the cocoa, and milk in a saucepan. Whisk to make a paste. Add the butter and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix well. Stir in the nuts and mix until combined. Immediately pour over the hot cake. |
