Hot Fudge Pudding Cake doesn’t require any decorating skills! It’s like chocolate cake and hot fudge all in one pan and the fudge sauce forms during the baking process! An easy dessert to put together and one delicious Hot Fudge Pudding cake to try! If your thinking this is just an under-cooked raw mess, there’s actually chunky cake pieces poking through the saucy mess! Though messy it could look quite appealing if served in little ramekins with a scoop (or two) of ice-cream. It also re-heats wonderfully in a toaster oven, just place into heat-proof bowls and heat up for 8-10 minutes then scoop vanilla ice-cream right before serving–just as delicious as freshly baked. This is one indulgent and rich dessert to try and the ice-cream tops everything off–it’s a must-try dessert!
