How to Make Yuuuummmy Hot Chocolate Cake With Hot Fudge Sauce Self Saucing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (170°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, boiling water, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, coffee, cocoa powder, and boiling water until the sugar and cocoa are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Carefully pour the hot fudge sauce over the cake batter in the pan. Do not stir.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (the cake will be slightly underbaked, as the sauce will continue to cook).
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  10. To serve, cut a piece of cake and spoon the warm fudge sauce from the bottom over the top.
  11. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional) and enjoy!
