Serving Tip: This cake is best served slightly warm with a drizzle of hot fudge and a scoop of vanilla or coffee-flavored ice cream.
Storage Tip: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat the fudge sauce gently before serving.
Variations:
Chocolate Overload: Add chocolate chips or chunks between the cake layers for even more chocolatey goodness.
Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle chopped pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts over the frosting before pouring the hot fudge sauce.
Mint Chocolate Version: Add ½ teaspoon peppermint extract to the cake batter and frosting for a refreshing twist.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make this cake ahead of time?
A: Yes! Bake the cake layers and prepare the frosting a day ahead. Assemble just before serving for the freshest results.
Q: Can I substitute hot water for coffee?
A: Absolutely. Hot water can be used if you prefer a milder chocolate flavor without the coffee undertone.
Q: How do I thicken my fudge sauce if it’s too runny?
A: Simmer it a little longer on the stove until it thickens to your liking, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
