Hot Fudge Sundae Cake
This week’s recipe is brought to you by my in-laws. A long while ago, my mother-in-law compiled a recipe book for a family reunion. Her family is from Eastern Idaho where the food is simple, tasty, and perfect for farm life.
I don’t know who on my in-law’s side of the family came up with this perfect dessert, but it quickly became a favorite in our house. It is quick and easy and a huge crowd-pleaser.
Hot Fudge Sundae Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups hottest tap water
Instructions
- In a bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, 2 Tbsp cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; stir until evenly combined. Add in the vegetable oil, vanilla, and milk, whisk to combine. Pour into an UNGREASED 9×13 inch pan and spread evenly.
- In another bowl combine the brown sugar and the ¼ cup cocoa powder, stir until evenly combined. Sprinkle over the batter in the pan.
- Pour the hot water over the top in the pan and place in a preheated 350°F oven. Bake for 40 minutes. The water will have combined with the brown sugar/cocoa powder mixture and seaped to the bottom to create hot fudge and forcing the batter to move to the top which when baked with create the cake. Serve immediately with your favorite ice cream.
