"Rich" Hot Fudge Cake

Recipe #35964 | 45 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: shortstuff

This is a very rich hot fudge cake that I got hooked on when I was expecting our daughter - just couldn't get enough of it and now she loves chocolate....Hum... Anyway, this is a easy recipe that I love warm with ice cream and my husband loves cold and plain. Happy gobbling!:o)

    My family felt that this cake was not sweet enough. We are all big sweet eaters and the sweeter the better!! I probably will not make this cake again.

    Tasted like it was missing something. Not sure exactly what it was, but it just tasted bland. I won't be making this again.
