Hills Texas Fudge Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup water 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 2 large eggs, lightly beaten ½ cup sour cream or buttermilk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2. Icing 6 tablespoons unsalted butter ¼ cup milk 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 3 cups confectioners' sugar ¾ cup finely chopped nuts of your choice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3. 1. Preheat the oven to 350?F. Butter an 11-by-15-inch pan. (I used a 9 x 13.) 2. Put the cocoa in a medium saucepan and gradually stir in the water. Bring to a boil, add the butter and let melt. Remove from the heat and set aside. 3. Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt together onto a piece of waxed paper. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the cocoa mixture. Add the eggs, sour cream or buttermilk, and vanilla to the cocoa mixture and stir until smooth. 4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cake is firm to the touch in the center. 5. While the cake is baking, make the icing: In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, milk and cocoa. Bring to a boil and stir to melt the butter. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Stir in the nuts and vanilla. 6. Spread the icing over the hot cake (still in the pan). Let cool before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, white sugar, 2 tablespoon cocoa powder, and salt in a large bowl.
• Stir in milk and butter until smooth.
• Fold in walnuts until just combined.
• Spread batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
• Mix 1/4 cup cocoa and brown sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle mixture on top of the batter.
• Pour hot water over the batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center of the cake is almost set, about 45 minutes. Brown sugar, cocoa, and hot water will combine to form a chocolate sauce that will settle to the bottom of the cake during baking.
• Best served warm.

Steps:

• Cream butter or margarine and sugar together in a large bowl. Add vanilla, and then eggs to the mixture.
• In another bowl, mix together flour, soda, baking powder, and salt. Sour the milk by adding the lemon juice or vinegar. Add flour mixture alternately with soured milk to the creamed mixture.
• Mix cocoa and hot water together, and beat into batter.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cool, and frost with desired frosting.
