This is for the cake portion only. The fudge and frosting are very very good, but standard. But the cake? Oh my. Truly the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted. I am asked to make this cake over and over…I have even had people pay me for it!
For those who gave it a low rating, I understand. I had to make this a few times before I got the hang of it. If your cake is dry, it might be because you either didn’t use heavy cream or baked it for even a minute too long. For those who said it wasn’t chocolately enough, it could be that you weren’t using dark cocoa powder. That made a HUGE difference when I made it. This recipe works SO WELL in full size cake form. I’ve also made mini cupcakes and whoopie pies with it…all with wonderful success. Just a fabulous recipe!

These cupcakes are a hit every time I make them! I found the frosting a bit thick to pipe, so I added a little bit more milk to it and whipped it. These are perfect for the peanut butter lovers!

well as these were “easy” they were also labor intensive and so not one bowl, try like 5 maybe? the frosting is great, hot fudge sauce great but I do agree with several others that this cupcake is dry…unfortunate since I’m serving these at a baby shower tomorrow, hopefully they’ll be liked!

These cupcakes were amazing, I actually had my family tell me they were the best they have ever had…thanks for the recipe.

I made these for a work party this summer and they were a hit! Everyone lived the peanut butter icing and hot fudge.

I made these Wednesday and shared them around the apt. complex. One asked for 2nds and several got back to me with “Those were delicious!” I wish I had made a double recipe! Some asked for the recipe, too. They are definitely at the top of my treat list. I took a photo, but I don’t know how to send it to you. Thanks for sharing this indescribably delicious recipe!

Jessica,
I just have ONE PROBLEM with recipe. I am looking at the step by step recipe and you never show swirling hot fudge sauce into the recipe? However, in the printable recipe it says to swirl in the hot fudge sauce? I am not sure which one is right, also HOW Much of the hot fudge sauce do you swril in if you are also going to use as a topping? SOmetimes baking doesn’t turn out right if proper measurement are not used. These sound great and just want them to turn out right the first time. Thanks for any info. you can give.
