"Magically making its own fudge sauce this cake will become one of your favorite last-minute desserts. Serve it with ice cream for an extra special treat. Note: if you use a dutch process cocoa you will have a richer, darker result. TIP: some reviewers have recommended "baking" this in a crockpot on High for about 2 1/2 hours and then letting it cool slightly before serving. Thanks for the tip!"

Thank you Jo Ann.This is so yummy. It is easy to make. A no fuss pudding in the true sense of the word. Just what I like after a busy day when you need comfort food to lift your spirit. Eating this, you are able to say "Mmmmmm" and float into pudding heaven and forget the rotten day you had. Try it. You'll love it.

A great recipe..I had made one like this years ago but had misplaced the recipe and was glad to find this one. Served it with ice cream and topped it with some Peanut Butter Fudge Sauce (zaar recipe #39088). It was excellent!

Thank you soooo much for posting this. I don't know where I got the original recipe, but I have made this several times and my family went nuts over it. Then I lost the recipe! It is great served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or Cool Whip! YUM! My family thanks you :)

This turned out surprisingly well, considering it looks quite a mess going into the oven! The fudge sauce at the bottom of the cake was smooth and delicious.

I have been making this for years and I LOVE IT! FYI you can make it in your crock pot. I spray the crock pot with non stick coating and then follow the directions as stated. Put it on for high for 1 1/2 -2 1/2 hours on HIGH. I serve this with a good vanilla ice cream but my favorite way to eat it is cold for breakfast the next morning when the sauce is all thick and fudgy (like a really rich underdone brownie)! I know....wierd! Thanks for posting a real winner of a recipe!

Huge rave from everyone at home!!! The first time I followed the directions accordingly and found the chocolate sauce to be overcooked (pudding-like). Anyway, the flavour was out of this world!!! The cake was great both warm and cold. :-PThe second time I substituted melted butter with cooking oil. It still turned out perfect. I'll be making this over and over again. Mthks for sharing...

I have been making this for a long time. It's not the healthiest dessert but it won't break the calorie bank either. Because it is so rich, a small serving with a small scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt suits me fine. It is great for those last minute guests and it makes your home smell incredible! I mix it up right up in the pan and use vegetable oil instead of the butter.
