One more recipe from when I was a baker at Draeger’s Market in Menlo Park. This Chocolate Water Cake Recipe is moist, fluffy, and pure chocolate heaven.

Hot Fudge Frosting

Ingredients
Directions
Step 1

In saucepan, combine cream and sugar. Cook over medium heat until it just comes to a boil. Do not boil.

Step 2

Remove from heat. Whisk in chocolate until dissolved. Add vanilla and butter. Mix until butter is dissolved. Let cool before using as a frosting. Serve hot when using as hot fudge.


This recipe is one that I’ve modified and used as a base for a gluten-free, dairy-free cake. Most chocolate cakes use milk, buttermilk, or sour cream, so one that uses water and is this moist is hard to come by.

If you need a bakery style cake, that screams CHOCOLATE, then try this one and you won’t be disappointed. Pair it with the Hot Fudge Frosting and you will be in chocolate heaven. Enjoy!
