Hot Fudge Cake

I don’t know about you, but nothing is better than a yummy, warm, chocolate cake coming straight out of the oven, covered in a fudge-pudding like mixture, served with a scoop of ice-cream. Am I right?? YUM!!! This may not be the prettiest cake to serve, since you are not really able to slice pieces. This is more of a scoop and dump into a bowl type cake. It is amazing though, and if you are a chocolate lover like I am, you must try this….right now, regardless of the time, : )
*The “hot fudge” is similar to a pudding type consistency!
