FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
This has a rich chocolate flavor with a crispy topping and a hot fudge/pudding sauce that is underneath.
No, it is not an integral part of the recipe. I like what it adds to the cake butyou can omit them if you’d like.
Yes, you can add different extracts to change up the flavor slightly. Some other extracts might be: almond, coffee, peppermint and strawberry
Our favorite is to top it with a scoop of ice cream. Some other toppings you can use are whipped cream, homemade vanilla sauce, hot fudge (if you really want to amp up the chocolate flavor) and caramel sauce.
I always make this with buttermilk, it helps with the consistency of the cake itself and it contributes to the moistness because of the fat content in buttermilk.
You can let this sit before serving. The longer it sits the more it sets up.
This can be stored in the pan covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator where it will keep for up to 5 days. This can also be frozen. I recommend placing in a freezer container and it will keep for up to 3 months. To defrost, remove to refrigerator overnight. Scoop out your portions and reheat in the microwave until heated through.
