Made this today. 2 oz of chocolate didn't look right, I increased it to 6 and I’m pretty sure it should actually be 7 or 8 to make it a fudge cake. Is 2 really correct?

Looks good, and easy. What cookbook did it come from? Are there a lot of good recipes in it? thanks

Just made this delicious cake for the second time today. My frosting had to be altered as well, the first time. So I've been using a simple chocolate buttercream with the addition of some espresso powder for my frosting now. I used melted Guittard baking wafers and added them to the buttercream. I agree. Awesome, easy cake, but had issues with the frosting listed.

Does the parchment paper go on the bottom of the pan only? Not sure what you mean by "turning it out of the pan". Looks like it would break apart if I tried to flip it out like a regular cake onto a cooling rack..

Yup you just want to line the pan with parchment on the bottom and I suggest greasing the sides. It is a more delicate cake so just flip it out very carefully. You can also serve it directly from the pan!

Oops, my frosting came out runny - I used amounts called for in recipe.
Help please.

Just add some more confectioners sugar until you get the consistency you want.

Paula, maybe you can replace the nuts with toasted (and cooled) rice krispies?

This looks like just the thing to take to a dinner we are going to this week. Alas, a nut allergy needs to be addressed. Normally, I'd just leave them out, but they look to be a substantial amount of the cake. Thoughts on how that might work?

Great question. What about trying a combination of seeds (pumpkin or sunflower) and rolled oats? That could work to mimic the texture and bulk and help support the batter since its so light.

I'd like to make this fantastic looking Fudge Cake this weekend. The frosting calls for 2 teaspoons unsalted butter. Is this correct? Doesn't seem like enough for addition of 1 cup of confectioner's sugar. Thanks.

It’s correct! It doesn’t seem like much but it’s right. Start there and if you feel you need more butter you can always add more. I’d suggest doubling the frosting overall :)
