Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar and condensed milk (if available, otherwise use sugar/butter mix per traditional caramel methods implied by ingredients). Simmer until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until creamy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together cake flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend into the wet ingredients.
  6. Melt unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then stir into the batter until smooth. The batter will be thin.
  7. Divide the batter in half. Pour one half into the prepared pan.
  8. Spread the prepared caramel mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  9. Carefully pour the remaining chocolate batter over the caramel layer.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. While the cake bakes, prepare fudge icing by melting chocolate with butter and sugar, then stirring in milk until smooth.
  12. Pour the warm fudge icing over the hot cake immediately after removing it from the oven. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
