Absolutely yummy!

Published by Julia Stainton at 6:42 pm under recipes

It’s been pretty crazy around here this week. I’ve been very busy with Joshua who is much improved but you know, still kind of cranky! I’ve also been busy doing write-ups, and working on some design calls…so many things to do and just not enough time.

 I thought I’d share one of our favorite family dessert recipes with you! As my oldest DS would say…chocolatey goodness. So yummy and chocolatey (is that a word!?LOL) and so easy to make. Chocolate is one of my many weaknesses and this is definite comfort food. It is one of my daughter’s faves and we made it last Thursday night for my MIL’s visit. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Hot Fudge Cake

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons baking cocoa divided
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
1-3/4 cups hot water
whipped cream optional or ice cream optional

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir in the milk, oil and vanilla until smooth. Spread in an ungreased 9-in. square baking pan. Combine brown sugar and remaining cocoa; sprinkle over batter. Pour hot water over all; do not stir. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Serve warm. Top with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
