My niece said this Chocolate Hot Fudge Brownie Cake was “maybe the best thing I’ve ever made”. And I make a TON of desserts. This post originally appeared on Chocolate, Chocolate, and More. I’m so excited to get to share it with you all here now!

Need a great chocolate dessert that will “WOW” your guests AND only requires 10 minutes of actual work? Have I got the perfect cake for you!  This Hot Fudge Brownie Cake makes two layers. One cakey brownie-like layer, and one hot fudge – right in the same pan. CRAZY! 

Easy desserts are kind of my jam right now, so when I came across this one from Southern Living I was immediately sold. Was it really possible to have a cake, brownie, AND hot fudge sauce all in one?

Yup.

Totally possible. Completely easy. And it’s done with NO EGGS.

One trick for this is to use a spoon to gently pour the boiling water over the top layer. The trick is to keep the water as the very top layer and not let it break through to the bottom. If you drizzle the water into a spoon and then let it run off the spoon onto the top layer its super easy. I didn’t even use a mixer to make this cake. Its that simple, and fast. The bake time does take awhile, but because the prep is such a flash you can have this cake on your table in under an hour.
