Hot fudge chocolate cake is a decadent dessert that's both a cake and a hot fudge sauce in one. It's a perfect treat for chocolate lovers. Here's a simple recipe to make hot fudge chocolate cake:
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Fudge Sauce:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 3/4 cups boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth. It will be thick, but that's okay.
- Spread the cake batter evenly in the greased baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder for the fudge sauce. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake batter.
- Carefully pour the boiling water over the sugar and cocoa powder layer. Do not stir; just pour it evenly over the top.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is set and the top appears somewhat firm.
- When the cake is done, the hot fudge sauce will have formed underneath. You can check the cake by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the cake portion; it should come out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, scooping the cake portion and spooning the hot fudge sauce over the top.
- You can serve this delightful hot fudge chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy!
