  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter until just combined, then stop.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Don't overbake the cake, or it will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • Use a good quality hot fudge sauce: This will make all the difference in the taste of your cake.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature: This will help the hot fudge sauce to stay melted and gooey.
