Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
I used to by these cake and pudding mix in the box from the dollar store many years ago. They no longer have them but I still remember how much I loved them. Those were not even homemade, just dollar store boxed cakes. So when I seen this recipe I had to give it a try and I sure was not disappointed.
This was absolutely delicious. I serve it with whip cream on hot, that is just my preference. This can be eaten just as it is or perhaps with ice cream. Either way, I am sure you are going to love it as much as I did. Give this a try and make one for yourself.
Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
Extreme Chocolate Cake
2 cups white sugar
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
¾ cup butter
1 ½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
5 ⅓ cups confectioners’ sugar
⅔ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch cake pans.
- Use the first set of ingredients to make the cake. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Stir in the boiling water by hand. Pour evenly into the two prepared pans.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, use the second set of ingredients. Cream butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the cocoa and confectioners’ sugar alternately with the milk and vanilla. Beat to a spreading consistency.
- Split the layers of cooled cake horizontally, cover the top of each layer with frosting, then stack them onto a serving plate. Frost the outside of the cake.
