Hot Fudge Cake

If you're a fan of chocolate cake, but you'd like to try something new, then I've got the recipe for you! This hot fudge cake is surprisingly simple to make at home. Similar to chocolate lava cakes that are a staple of restaurant dessert menus, this cake has a crispy outside and on ooey-gooey inside. It's best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I PROMISE this recipe won't disappoint!


Hot Fudge Cake

1 cup all purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar

6 Tablespoons cocoa powder, divided

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

2 Tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup packed brown sugar

1-3/4 cups hot water

Vanilla ice cream to serve, optional


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk milk, oil, and vanilla until blended. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Transfer to an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan. 
  3. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and remaining cocoa powder. Sprinkle mixture over batter. Pour hot water over top. (Do not stir.)
  4. Bake 35-40 minutes. 
  5. Serve warm. If desired, top with vanilla ice cream.
