Here's something you can whip up quickly for valentines day. Btw, do you celebrate Valentines day? Honestly, for us, it's just another day. I dont remember us celebrating Valentines day in any major fashion…yet. Just because we dont celebrate, it doesnt mean I'm against it or dub it as a commercialised occasion, my policy is “live and let live”!
The real reason behind this recipe has nothing to do with Valentines day. We happened to attend a b'day party recently and everybody was wowing over the b'day cake. Since, I was still under weather, I didnt have it. From that time onwards, I just felt like having some cake. The very next day, I found out this recipe. The weather here is still kinda cold, so this warm gooey Hot Fudge Sundae Cake sounded perfect!
Coming to the recipe, it ticks many requests which I often get. It's eggless, it uses whole wheat flour, it's chocolate and it's super simple with easily available ingredients. No complications, no fuss, just follow the recipe correctly. We didn't have it with Ice cream, but I'm sure, it would be great with Ice cream. You can pair it with Simple Vanilla or Mocha or Butterscotch flavour or Cookie & Cream…

Hot Fudge Sundae Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or sub all-purpose)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp + ¼ cup cocoa (divided)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1¾ cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, 2 tbsp cocoa, baking powder, salt, milk, oil and vanilla. Batter will be very thick -- don't fear. You might need to stir with a metal spoon.
- Spread batter into a greased 9" pie plate or square pan (*Note: make sure your pan has tall sides, otherwise your cake might run over a bit.)
- Combine brown sugar and ¼ cup cocoa. Spread over batter.
- Pour the hot water slowly over the back of a spoon onto mixture in the dish (I use freshly boiled). Bake for about 30-35 minutes until top is dry and puffed. (*Note: put a cookie sheet underneath your pan in the oven, just in case a little spills over).
- Serve warm with ice cream.
Notes
Is there anyway to make it moist
Hi Maria
If I use a baking dish with removable bottom will the water spill over ?
This recipe is so delicious and simple to make. I topped it with some raspberries!
Thanks a lot Abby :) I’m really happy that it worked out well for you..

Hello Maria, Are you using cocoa powder or the chocolate syrup here?
Hi Deepthi,
I’ve used cocoa powder, not the syrup. It’s mentioned in the recipe too..
After pouring the hot water should we mix it with the batter or just leave it stay as it is?
Hi Jaseela,
There is no need to mix the water with the batter, just pour the water gently over the top and bake it straight away.
hi Mariya, pouring hot water means, literally pouring it over the cake?
Hi Maaya,
yes, pouring the hot water slowly over the back of a spoon onto the cake mixture.
