Every time I go home, my Mom makes her Famous Chocolate Fudge Cake. It’s so delicious (the frosting tastes like fudge!) and always reminds me of my childhood. If you want to bake your valentine a treat, Mom has generously shared her recpe with us.
Mom’s Famous Chocolate Fudge Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease & flour a 13″ x 9″ pan
In a mixing bowl, combine:
2 Cups flour
2 Cups sugar
Bring to boil:
2 sticks butter or margarine (16 Tbsp or 1 Cup)
4 Tbsp cocoa
1 Cup water
Once brought to a boil, pour over flour & sugar mixture and combine.
Next, combine:
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 Cup sour milk (see below)
*Sour milk: In a 1/2 Cup measuring cup, add 1/4 Cup evaporated milk & 1/4 Cup hot water, then 2 tsp white or cider vinegar to curdle; Set the 1/2 cup measuring cup into a 1 cup measuring cup filled with hot water to help it curdle. Then, add 1 tsp of baking soda to the sour milk mix. (Note: The mixture will foam up and possibly over so be over your bowl when you do this part!)
Pour mixture into pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
*Note: The cake doesn’t rise much, so not to worry when it doesn’t!
Icing:
In a mixing bowl:
Pour in a 1 lb. box of confectioner’s (powdwered) sugar
Bring to a boil:
1 stick of butter (8 Tbsp or 1/2 Cup)
4 Tbsp cocoa
1/3 Cup milk
Once brought to a boil, pour over confectioner’s sugar and add:
1 tsp vanilla
Mix to combine.
Pour over cake and enjoy!
*Note: Icing will not be thick; just pour it over the cake and then let your favorite person lick the beaters and the bowl (my favorite part!).
Thanks, Mamala xx!
