Ingredients for Blender Chocolate Fudge Cake
This recipe makes one 8-inch round cake, about 10 to 12 slices.
- 180 g (about 1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 40 g (about 1/2 cup) cocoa powder
- 180 g (about 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) milk
- 100 ml (about 1/2 cup) vegetable oil
- 100 ml (about 1/2 cup) hot water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Equipment You Will Need
A countertop blender, an 8-inch round cake pan, parchment paper or a light coating of oil for greasing, a spatula, and a wire rack are all you need. Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) before you start.
Step-by-Step Blender Method
- Grease the 8-inch round cake pan and line the base with parchment paper.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract to the blender jar. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth and lightly combined.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend for another 30 to 45 seconds until no dry streaks remain.
- Pour in the hot water and blend briefly until the batter is smooth and glossy. The batter will be thick, similar to a fudgy batter.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
Tips for a Moist, Sliceable Cake
The hot water is added last on purpose. It loosens the batter and helps the cocoa bloom, which contributes to a rich chocolate flavor and a tender crumb. Avoid overbaking, since the cake continues to set as it cools. Letting it cool fully before cutting helps the slices hold their shape.
Storage Tips
Keep the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze slices for up to 2 months. Let refrigerated slices sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.

Effortless Blender Chocolate Fudge Cake proves that a rich, homemade dessert does not need a long list of steps.
