As If the Cake Wasn't Enough

Well, since I posted the recipe for the heart stopping microwave cake, I thought I would take a moment and post the perfect topping to bring the cholesterol level of the cake up to FDA standards. Here is a delicious Hot Fudge Sauce.

Hot Fudge Sauce

1 Cup Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 Cup boiling water
1 tsp vanilla
4 TB butter

In a heavy saucepan mix cocoa, sugar and salt. Gradually stir in water; stir over medium heat about 8 minutes or until smooth, shiny and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Next, add butter and stir over low heat until smooth (about 4 minutes). Serve warm (when it is cooled it is a very thick and rich topping, as well).

I hope this adds just the touch that was missing from the microwave cake. Enjoy!

Wally, how often are you making these hot fudge cakes?
Did you take a "Before" picture? If so, take another in early spring, after sitting around all winter in front of the heater, eating hot fudge cakes.

Eddie- had another one last night, with the fudge sauce, fresh whipped cream and a latte.

I can get you a "before" picture, but my camera doesn't have a panorama feature, so I can't get the "after" in the frame.
