FALLEN FUDGE CAKE

This was one of the first desserts I EVER attempted to cook as a teenager. It's also known as Chocolate Hot Fudge Cake. It was found in an old southern church cookbook and was always a favorite of mine. The ingredients are items most of us already have in our kitchen. Even though this is a simple dessert it is rather rich.
