Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Cake for Easy to Make Very Special Mother's Day CakesIt’s time to revisit this Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Cake to make this dessert easier and more foolproof.   is not only gluten-free but perfect for Passover.  I can’t even begin to guess how many of these Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Cakes we made at the bakery but I do remember having to glaze and cut 69 at one point for a banquet – 1104 pieces.  It seemed like they would never end.  For a brief moment, I almost gave up on chocolate.

Remember when the flourless chocolate cakes took everyone by storm?  They were everywhere.  The problem was most of them were dry, dry, dry and not worth the trouble.  Just because something is flourless doesn’t make it good!  However, this Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Cake is ultra-smooth and has a deep, intense chocolate taste without being bitter or overwhelming.

Two Ingredient Fudge HeartsTwo Ingredient Fudge Hearts couldn’t be an easier surprise for that someone special on Valentine’s day.  Just a couple of steps and these Fudge Hearts are ready to go.

For those in St. Louis that watch me on KMOV’s Great Day St. Louis, I will be on the first Thursday of every month now.  This is the segment for this Thursday.

These do not require anything but heating a few ingredients together.  No taking temperatures or concern that the fudge hearts will be grainy when finished.  Perfect fudge, every time.

They can be finished with any topping you wish such as nuts, chocolate chips, etc.  I chose red sugar, chocolate sprinkles, brick pieces and white chocolate drizzle.  But anyway you choose to do them, no finish, all one finish or multiple finishes these fudge hearts are sure to please.
