Hot Fudge Cake

Well! Where do I start with this Hot Fudge Cake? This rich and decadent fudge cake is between a good brownie and a rich, moist chocolate cake.

About This Hot Fudge Cake Recipe

• This recipe has two parts; The Sheet cake and the fudge topping.
• The cake texture is dense and moist, and each bite feels like a bar of good-quality chocolate in your mouth.
• The topping is a creamy chocolate fudge that pours once hot over the cake.
• The ingredients are simple and basic, but the method makes this cake exceptionally delicious and decadent.
• The topping contains buttermilk, the signature of this Hot Fudge Cake flavour.
• Adding nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, is optional to add flavour and crunch to this cake.

How To Make The Hot Fudge Cake

Cake;

• The Process is slightly different from other cake recipes you have done before! Sift the dry ingredients, including flour, sugar, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Mix the water, Cocoa powder, and butter in a saucepan, boil, and stir constantly. I use this cocoa powder.
• Add this mixture to the dry mixture and mix well. You can use a hand mixer.
• Add in the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
• I used a 9X13 inch pan to bake this cake; however, a 15X10 inch will be fine also.
• Bake the cake and let it cool down in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to the cooling rack.

Topping;

• This recipe uses butter, cocoa powder, and buttermilk! That is right. We use buttermilk in the cake and the fudge topping as well.
• Mix these three ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove it from the heat and add the powdered sugar and mix well. If you desire to add nuts, add them now and mix.
• Poke the Hot Fudge Cake with a skewer to make the frosting penetrate the cake batter. Pour the hot mixture over the cake and let the icing set for one hour at least.
• Cut it into squares and serve warm.
