HOT FUDGE CAKE
Here's a wonderful way to top off a great meal-a rich chocolaty cake that's not overly sweet. Mom served it with a scoop of ice cream or cream poured over. I'd always have room for a serving of Hot Fudge Cake. -Vera Reid, Laramie, Wyoming

MOM'S MARSHMALLOW FUDGE CAKE
This recipe was given to me by my mother. Be aware that this is only for those that have a BIG sweet tooth! Don't say I didn't warn ya! Also, I'm having to translate the recipe from french to english so, I apologize in advance if there should be any typos. Please read the recipe in it's entirety before attempting to make since the marshmallows in the cake section doesn't get baked and the white powdered sugar in the fudge section gets added after the mixture has cooled a little. I don't make this recipe often since my husand is a chocolate man and he won't eat anything else but chocolate desserts! The man doesn't know what he's missing out on!! *LOL* This is a very sweet buttery dessert.

MOTHER'S FUDGE
Steps:
- Butter an 8 x 8-inch pan. Combine sugar, butter, milk, salt, and chocolate in medium saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until all ingredients melt and come to a boil. Do not scrape down the sides of the pan. Lower heat, insert candy thermometer, and let boil slowly without stirring for about 10 minutes or until soft ball forms when dropped in a cup of cold water (238 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove pan from heat and cool. Add vanilla. Beat steadily until fudge loses its gloss. Add nuts. Pour into pan. Cool for 20 minutes and cut into squares. Store in airtight container or wrap in tinfoil.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. This means using real butter, unsweetened chocolate, and fresh eggs.
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the batter to come together smoothly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
- Do not overbake the cake. Overbaking can make the cake dry and crumbly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
