12 Layer Chocolate Fudge Cake
Ingredients
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour , sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter , at room temperature
2 1/2 cups sugar
6 large eggs , at room temperature
3 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder , preferably Dutch process
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter , cut up
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pecan halves, for garnish
Directions
Position racks in the center and bottom third of the oven and preheat to 375°. Lightly butter four 8 1/2- to 9-inch cake pans (you will bake the cakes in three batches) and line the bottoms with rounds of parchment paper. Flour the pans and tap out the excess.
To make the layers, sift together the sifted flour, baking powder and salt. Sift the mixture one more time, and set aside.
Beat the butter and sugar in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the paddle blade on high speed until light in color and texture, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Scrape down the bowl and be sure the mixture is well-blended. On low speed, add the flour in 3 additions, alternating with 2 additions of the milk, beginning and ending with the flour, and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl often with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla. Using a scant cup for each layer, spread the batter evenly in the pans. It will make a thin layer.
Staggering the pans on the racks so they are at least 2 inches from each other and the sides of the oven and not directly over each other, bake the layers until they feel firm when pressed in the centers and are beginning to pull away from the sides of the pans, about 12 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Invert the layers onto cake racks, remove the parchment paper, and cool completely. Wash and prepare the pans. Repeat the procedure until all 12 layers have been baked and cooled.
To make the icing, bring the sugar, cocoa, butter and evaporated milk to a full boil in a large saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the icing has thickened slightly (it will resemble chocolate syrup but will thicken as it cools), about 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Let the icing cool until thick enough to spread, but still pourable.
Place a layer of cake on a wire rack set over a jelly-roll pan. Spread with a few tablespoons of the icing, letting the excess run down the sides. Stack the remaining cakes, icing each layer. Pour the remaining icing over the top of the cake. If you wish, smooth the icing on the edges to cover the sides. Place pecan halves around the top perimeter of the cake. Let stand until the glaze sets. (The cake is best served the day it is made. To store, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
Recommended technique: If you buy inexpensive aluminum foil cake pans at the grocery store (they can be saved for another time as well), you will be able to knock out layers in no time. And no washing between baking!

You truly have a very beautiful southern attitude. Thank you for the video
Wow, thank you!!
Looks delicious! Love scratch cakes. Val the first Mother’s Day is hard but I miss my mama everyday even after 29 years. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day! 💐🪻🌷🌹🍰♥️💗😊🙏💗
Bless you. Thank you.
Thank you...Happy Mother's Day !!🎉❤...cake looks delicious. 🥰🙋♀️
Same to you. Thank you.
Hello, Val, and Happy Mother's day 💐! You chose a perfect dessert for the occasion...who doesn't like chocolate cake?
Wonderfully specific and well-organized instructions, as always, thank you very much. I appreciate your thriftiness with the cake pans and understand your rationale completely; I do wash and reuse them occasionally.
It's comforting to watch you cook and bake, with utensils, jars, measuring implements that are familiar because either I have similar ones or have inherited similar ones from my dear Mama.
Thought of you yesterday as I made brown sugar cinnamon pecan swirl banana bread for the folks at work (absolutely delicious recipe) and used one of my new Danish whisks you had shown in one of your videos some time ago...I love it! Worked better than my electric mixer for the batter, thank you for the recommendation.
Enjoy your weekend with the family! 💜
Oh you need to share that recipe with me. I’m asking for cards with handwritten recipes. I’d love it. Send to Our Forever Farm PO Box 985 Cedar Bluff al. 35959. I would love it.

The Chocolate Cake looks absolutely DELICIOUS 😋.

😋🙏
Thx for watching.
Love your accent, I have the same😆
🙂
Thank you for watching.
When you said 12 layer chocolate cake and showed the pans you were using I thought you were going to fill the pans and couldn’t figure out how you were going to make that work , but I love the thin layers , looks like the BEST chocolate cake 🎂
Happy Mother’s Day Val 💕
I know. The think layers make it perfect. It’s so good. Happy Mother’s Day to you too.
Could have sliced it and shown us what it looked like inside.....happy mothers day to all.
Well. You are right. I should have. I’ll try to remember that.
Thank you! A scant cup is about 7/8 of a cup.
Well. Thank you! So I was kind of right. Almost a cup! Thanks for telling me. Thx for watching.
I admire you, but I love Three 9 inch, fluffy and moist cake.
Would have loved to see it cut open!!..& a Taste Test!!
PS. I noticed after putting the icing on the first 1/2 of your cake you didn’t spread it around the cake??!! Some of the cake layers had hot spots with no icing!!.. is this the way to do it??!
Thank you for your demonstration!! Looks Yummy!! It looks “Really Rich!!”😋🙌🙌💓🙏🙏
As many layers as there are you are gonna have a taste of this icing in every bite. It’s so good. I didn’t notice that I didn’t. Do it the way you want to and I promise you will love it. We do. Thx for watching.
How long does the pourable icing cooks?
Not much baking power or butter for that much flour? Just asking💕 could you use buttermilk and soda?
@ourforeverfarm how long do you cook you icing
After the recent report on over 460 chocolate products containing lead & other toxins I'm afraid of chocolate .
Oh my! Woe. I haven’t heard this.
Common sense should tell why you wash lids. Lol
