 - 3/4 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder

 - 2 teaspoons baking soda

 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

 - 1 cup (240ml) boiling water

For the frosting:

 - 2/3 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder

 - 3 cups (375g) powdered sugar

 - 1/3 cup (80ml) milk

 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 - 1/2 cup (100g) Jersey fudge, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

1- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2- In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to sour.

3- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

4- Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the soured milk. Mix in the boiling water until smooth. Fold in the chopped Jersey fudge.

5- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

6- To make the frosting, cream together the butter and cocoa powder until well blended. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.

7- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting over the top, then place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Garnish with chopped Jersey fudge.

8- Slice and enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness of your Jersey Fudge Cake!
