Hot Fudge Sundae Cake

I'm not into smoothie bowls, protein shakes, grain-free desserts or 2-ingredient dinner ideas, but I'm totally into after-school snacks that are super easy.


When I was a kid, I don't remember being into food or cooking. Snacks were either popcorn or dry cereal. As a teenager, the snacks were upgraded to English muffin pizzas or baby carrots and ranch dressing. I wish I knew about Hot Fudge Cake 20 years ago.


It's easy.
Open, pour, mix, bake.

You can experiment with dozens of flavor combinations (white cake mix and orange soda is a favorite; so is spice cake and cream soda, tastes like graham crackers & marshmallows) but this one is my favorite. It reminds me of the hot fudge cake from Shoney's.

  4. I'm a sucker for easy recipes and this one would get gobbled up in no time flat at my house. I love how versatile it is. I laughed about how choices change with age. I remember going to my best friend's house every day after school and we'd make popcorn and play monopoly. I always thought it was awesome her parents never complained about how buttery the monopoly money was. Ha
