Hot Fudge Cake

It’s a cake, but it’s also a brownie, it’s pudding, and it’s hot fudge, too! Most of all, it’s over-the-top yummy, especially with a big dollop of whipped cream.

Hot Fudge Cake
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1-3/4 cups hot water


Combine the flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons baking cocoa, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl, and mix well. Add the milk, oil and vanilla, and mix well. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan. Mix the brown sugar and 1/4 cup baking cocoa in a small bowl, and sprinkle over the batter.

Pour the hot water over the top, and do not stir. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until the cake tests done. The cake will be on the top, and the chocolate sauce will be on the bottom. Serve a warm portion of the cake with the chocolate sauce spooned over the top, and add a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
