When my sister, Brianna and I were kids, we would spend the nights at nanny’s and we would always end the night with ice cream and a piece of hot fudge cake. Nanny really knew her way around the kitchen when it came to desserts.

We absolutely loved these! Even when momma was younger she would get a hot fudge cake every single birthday.

So here’s how she made it!

Ingredients:

1 cup cake flour

3/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoons salt

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup cocoa

1 3/4 cup HOT water

• YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Mix flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, salt and baking powder in a bowl and put into an ungreased square pan 9x9x2.

Mix in milk, oil, and vanilla with a fork until smooth.

Stir in nuts. Spread evenly in pan.

Sprinkle top with brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa. Pour hot water over batter.

Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

While warm, spoon into dessert dishes. Top with ice cream and spoon on sauce from pan.
