Fudge Upside Down Cake

[Rezzycakes]

This is a yummy dessert cake!! It has a similar texture to a rich brownie. The fudge sauce sinks to the bottom during baking, but is spooned over the cake for serving. Goes nicely with a scoop if ice cream!

My Grandmother used a similar recipe in the Betty Crocker cookbook. She always made it for me when I would spend the night with them when I was a kid. Every now and then I make it for my family and they love it! A very easy recipe that does not last very long Thank you for posting this! Reminds me that I have not made one in a while!
