Updated: Emma Yoder's Amish Hot Fudge Cake

This recipe comes from an Amish cook in Iowa named Emma Yoder.

Unless you are counting calories, you really can't go wrong with a hot fudge cake.  Milca from Dutchcrafters tested this wonderful recipe for us.  Milca compares it to an Amish version of a "molten lava cake."

Make sure you leave it in the oven long enough to firm up because if your fudge comes leaking out you'll have a mess.  But a tasty mess!
