OLD-FASHIONED HOT FUDGE SUNDAE CAKE (aka, Chocolate Cobbler, Hot Fudge Pudding Cake)
Read great reviews from people on Pinetrest!
The cake is mixed and baked all in one pan using ingredients you likely have on hand in your kitchen.
This isn’t the prettiest cake, but it’s darn good.
The top of the cake has a brownie-like, chewy texture. Once you dig in, the bottom is oozing with a thick warm fugdy, pudding-like sauce.
This is wonderful served over ice cream – hence the name, Hot Fudge Sundae Cake.
HOW TO MAKE HOT FUDGE SUNDAE CAKE
To make, you mix everything in a baking dish following these simple steps:
First, mix the first set of dry ingredients well using a fork (flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa, baking powder and salt), then add milk, vanilla and oil – mix until smooth and spread batter evenly in pan.
Next, sprinkle the top of the cake batter with brown sugar and additional unsweetened cocoa.
Last, pour very hot water over top (do NOT mix) and bake on middle rack of oven at 350 degrees (pre-heated) for about 40 minutes. That’s it!

I was hoping for a recipe, that I could print out (without downloading software) and make. I’ve misplaced my recipe for Hot Fudge Sundae Cake.

If I wanted to to double the recipe and use a 9×13 inch pan how long would I cook it.
Wonder how this would work in a crockpot.
Andera, I think it could.It said it was also filed under Egg less Cake and Crockpot Hot Fudge Cake. I have had it and it was made in the crockpot. I thought it was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted.
Could you use a small Brownie Mix and add the brown sugar cocoa and hot wate4r to that
We call this Devils Island. This recipe goes well back into the 50’s. We have slight changes.
Thanks for the recipe! I tried it and it was so delicious!!! If I wanted to double the recipe how much water would I add?
Can I double this fudge cobbler recipe and it still turn out right?
I have been searching for this recipe for years!! Western Sizzler in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma when they were in business used to have it. We would drive there just so my husband could have it!! It was so good!
