Hot Fudge Chocolate Cake

 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. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  2. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  4. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  5. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  6. 1/2 cup milk
  7. 1/4 cup melted butter
  8. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Fudge Sauce:

  1. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  2. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  3. 1 3/4 cups boiling water

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
  2. 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.
  3. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth. It will be thick, but that's okay.
  4. Spread the cake batter evenly in the greased baking dish.
  5. 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.
  6. Carefully pour the boiling water over the sugar and cocoa powder layer. Do not stir; just pour it evenly over the top.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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!
