Hot Fudge Sundae Cake

Hot Fudge Sundae Cake Recipe

Being a self-confessed chocolate addict, I’m always on the lookout for remarkable chocolaty treats. This one, however, was shared with me by my sister. Aware of the fact that I’m obsessed with chocolate, she sends me treats and recipes from time to time.

Who can ever say no to the combination of chocolate cake, ice cream, and hot fudge sauce? It almost always gets people’s jaws dropping.

This is a fantabulous recipe! My family and friends are raving about it, and it's a new favorite among the CUO staff. You can have it plain or enjoy it with ice cream. It has an interesting consistency and distinct flavor.

Since there are no eggs, it's also an excellent chocolate cake for those with egg allergies.

    We made this recipe over the weekend. It was fantastic! Due to a nut allergy in the house we substituted 1/2 cup chocolate chips for the nuts. That worked great and added even more chocolate impact.
