  • Preheat the oven to 350F.

  • Add the rest of the cake ingredients. Blend very briefly until just combined. Do not over-blend or the cake will come out gummy.
  • Pour the batter into an 8-inch square or round pan that is either greased or lined with parchment paper. Spread evenly.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350F.
  • Cool completely before frosting.
  • For the frosting, combine all the ingredients in a high speed blender. Blend until very smooth and creamy. Use as is, or refrigerate for a few hours to thicken.
  • Spread a generous layer of the chocolate fudge frosting on the cake. Top with sprinkles or fruit or whatever you like. Enjoy!
