One of the elderly ladies at church gave me this recipe. I've tweeked it a bit here and there, and have been using it for some time when I need a darker fudgy cake. It is super easy to make!
Mrs. Patrick’s Fudge Cake
Heat oven to 325 ºF.
Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan or two 8 inch layer pans (line layer pans with waxed paper before greasing and flouring).
In a mixing bowl, combine:
2 cups self-rising flour [I use White Lily]
¼ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sugar
Blend well and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine:
1 cup water
½ to ¾ cup cocoa [I use half regular Hershey’s and half Hershey’s Special Dark]
2 sticks butter
Bring to a boil. Pour cocoa mixture over flour mixture and mix on low until blended.
Add:
2 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix on medium speed one minute.
Pour into pans. Bake until cake tests done with a toothpick.
Cool before icing.
