| Ooey-gooey Hot Fudge Sundae Cake Courtesy of Starr Roan |
Yesterday, January 27 was National Chocolate Cake Day. Did you observe it? Well, I wanted to get out the box of Betty Crocker cake mix to celebrate, but the day got past me. So, instead, I celebrated today with our neighbors. This auspicious occasion needed a special chocolate cake, not a boxed cake mix.
How lucky I was to come upon a recipe in my Church Ladies Cookbook. You know all the best tried and true recipes are found in these cookbooks. This cake is fun to make. No bowl or beaters to clean up after putting it together because it is mixed in the pan. Then you pour hot water over the batter. Yeah, really!
Here's the recipe! Thank you Starr for sharing this in The Fruit of the Spirit Cookbook, Fremont United Methodist Church.
Hot Fudge Sundae Cake
Stir the following ingredients together in an ungreased 9 x 9 inch pan.
1 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Add the following ingredients to the pan
1/2 c. milk
2 T. oil
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix with a fork (I used a spoon) until smooth.)
Spread evenly in pan.
Mix together 1 c. brown sugar and 2 T. cocoa. Sprinkle over batter.
Pour 1 3/4 c. hot water over batter. Do not stir.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.Let stand 15 minutes. Spoon cake into dishes and top with ice cream. Spoon extra sauce from pan over top.

Wow, JQ. The recipe made my mouth water!! I FBed and tweeted. Everyone needs to see it and your lovely cover. :)
Thanks so much, Marsha. Just ordered Act of Trust for my Kindle. Looking forward to reading it.
Unfortunately I didn't realize it was Chocolate Cake Day until it was too late. Don't think I can continue to call myself a chocoholic anymore.
So luck to come across your excellent blog. Your blog brings me a great deal of fun.. Good luck with the site. שירותי ליוי בתל אביב
