Chocolate has a history that is almost as rich as itself! Both
the Mayans and the Aztecs associated it with the goddess of fertility,
and it has been one of the main forms of commerce in Africa for
hundreds of years. Studies have even proven that the serotonin
released from eating chocolate fudge cake has the same effect
on the brain and heart rate as kissing passionately.
Despite the name, chocolate fudge cake usually doesn’t
contain fudge in the traditional sense. Fudge is the extremely
rich candy that that comes from mixing sugar, butter and milk,
then beating the mixture until it has a creamy-smooth consistency.
People often mistake the cake’s rich flavor for fudge.
A simple Google search will provide numerous recipes for chocolate
fudge cake. Many of these sites give a basic recipe and then allow
people to submit their own special recipe. Even though some of
the ingredients may differ, it’s interesting to see the
creative variations on this delectable dessert.
