Recipe Tips
For a lighter version of this cake, you can use a reduced-fat buttermilk and low-fat butter. This will reduce the fat and calories in each serving.
If you want to make this cake extra decadent, you can add chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the hot fudge sauce. This will give the cake a crunchy texture and an extra layer of flavor.
If you don’t have a crock pot, you can bake the cake in an 8-inch round baking dish. Bake the cake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Top the cake with the hot fudge sauce and serve warm.
