Hot Fudge Sundae Cake

This recipe is one of Mom's recipes. We grew up having this for dessert all the time. According to her, she's written it so that "the ingredients are grouped in order and according to use in recipe. The first 5 ingredients are combined right in the pan that you use for baking. You don't need a mixing bowl. Other ingredients are added to that."


Enjoy!
