Taste of Home Hot Fudge Cake

I was very skeptical when I read this recipe. I was not really sure how it was going to work, but it did! This tasted like a hot fudge brownie. Although it is a cake the center is open gooey and delicious . It was very good and definitely best served the same day. I added whipped cream to the top but next time I’m adding ice cream! The combination of the warm cake and cold ice cream is the way to go for this dessert.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup all purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar

6 Tablespoons baking cocoa, divided

2 Tablespoons canola oil

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 3/4 cup hot water

Ice cream for serving
