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!
