How to Make Rich Hot Fudge Cake

  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 soda, baking powder, 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 (the batter will be thin).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving warm with ice cream or enjoying cold.
