I would have preferred to make this chocolate fudge cake in the winter. To me, it’s a comfort food and perfect for making cozy nights feel, well, cozy. But I couldn’t resist trying this recipe to pair it with vanilla ice cream. Let me tell you, fudge and ice cream will always be a perfect combo.
And this is the best recipe if you don’t want to be in the kitchen for hours but need a quick sweet treat. It won’t take longer than an hour, I promise.
