How to Make Chocolate Cake To Die For

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the boiling water and oil until the batter is smooth.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Immediately after baking, poke holes all over the cake with the end of a wooden spoon or toothpick.
  9. Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm cake, letting it soak into the holes.
  10. Melt the jar of hot fudge and drizzle it generously over the soaked cake.
  11. Let the cake cool completely before topping with whipped cream and crushed candy bars (optional).
  12. Serve and enjoy!
