I love making dessert for my family. However, sometimes I need an easy dessert that I can whip up quickly. This Easy Hot Fudge Sundae Cake is the answer. It’s sure to please everyone in the family. In addition, it’s so easy, the kids can make it all by themselves! Just combine all the ingredients in an 8×8 dish and as it bakes it will form a rich gooey layer of hot fudge on the bottom of the dish, topped off with a delicious chocolate cake on the top. While warm, spoon out the cake into a bowl and serve it with vanilla or your favorite ice cream. Top with whipped cream and a cherry if desired!
