Fudge Cake

by Gillian Polack

It’s a chocolate fudge kind of a day in Canberra. Overcast and oppressive and summery. This was the sort of day my mother would have us into the kitchen, making afternoon tea so we would stop worrying about whether it was going to storm. This fudge recipe is from my grandmother’s little green notebook.

Fudge Cake

2 tbs butter
2 tbs cocoa
1 cup sugar
1 cup SR flour
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk

Melt butter in saucepan. Add cocoa. Stir till smooth. Add other ingredients in above order. Beat two minutes. Bake in a moderate oven.

PS Next week I will be returning to the Regency Banquet testing. Hang in there. I may also be returning to older historical cuisines. This week I have really been in family mode and my posts have reflected it. I remember making that fudge cake when I was a child…
