Subject: Hot Fudge Sundae Cake Recipe
I need to locate the hot fudge sundae cake recipe that used
to be found on the back of the Hershey's Cocoa can. It is a
recipe where all the ingredients are mixed together and then baked.
I know it takes water in the recipe.
Can you help me with this recipe and I need it ASAP!!!
to go with homemade ice cream tonight.
Thanks,
DeeAnn
Hello DeeAnn,
Well, I hope it's not too late, but I just got in from my real job. If it is too late, then maybe tomorrow night, eh?
When people put recipes on the Internet, they rarely say "This is the recipe from the back of the Hershey's can",
so it's usually useless to look for a recipe like that. It was useless in this case. There are lots of hot fudge sundae cake
recipes on the web, but none that say they are from the Hershey's can.
Try the ones below. My male sweet tooth intuitively tells me that the first one is the one from the Hershey's can.

Peg's Mom's Hot Fudge Sundae Cake
Prep time:15 minutes. Cook time:45 minutes. Servings:4.
This is a recipe developed by the mother of Peg Tomlinson-Poswall,
who substitutes Valrhona for the cocoa used originally in the cake.
The Valrhona makes the cake dark and rich. Valrhona cocoa powder
can be found at Corti Bros. Hershey's cocoa also can be used.
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
11/2 tablespoons Valrhona cocoa (can use Hershey's cocoa)
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 3/4 cups hot water
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 9-by-9-inch baking pan.
Using an electric mixer, mix the flour, baking powder, salt,
sugar and Valrhona cocoa till combined. Add the milk and butter,
mix until smooth, stir in nuts. Spread in the prepared baking dish.
Combine the brown sugar and cocoa, sprinkle over batter, and then
pour the hot water over all. Bake for 45 minutes. To serve, scoop
cake into bowl and top with ice cream. Ladle sauce from bottom of
pan over ice cream.

Hi Jaclyn,
Well, I didn't have much luck. The only recipe that I could find that was
even close was the one below. All the other cinnamon raisin cookie recipes
that I found were either drop cookies or the dough was rolled into balls
rather than into a log and sliced. Sorry.

Hello Mark,
Well, Italian dishes may have different names according to which part of
Italy someone lives. Sometimes Italian families have their own name for a
dish. The cookies you describe sound like "strufoli". I could not find
anything with a name like "durdilles."
The wine used may be sherry, as you recall your mother using, although many
strufoli recipes omit the wine The cooked strufoli aren't actually boiled
in the honey, just put into the hot honey to be coated. I suspect the
refigerator has replaced the clay pot. Try the recipe below. You can omit
the pine nuts and cherries if your mom didn't use them.

Strufoli / Pignolata
Ingredients :
2 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 lg. egg
1/2 c. milk
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp white wine
1/4 cup pine nuts (optional)
candied cherries (optional)
Vegetable oil for deep frying
1 c. honey
1 tbsp. multicolored nonpareils
Preparation :
In large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In
small bowl, using wire whisk or fork, beat egg, milk, butter and
vanilla to blend well; stir into flour mixture to make smooth, soft,
pliable dough. Roll dough by tablespoonfuls into 6 inch long ropes;
cut each rope into 1/4 inch pieces. In 12 inch skillet over medium
heat, heat oil to 375 degrees. Add half of dough pieces; cook about
1 minute, stirring carefully but constantly until pieces are puffed
and golden. Using slotted skimmer or spoon, remove fried dough balls
to paper towels to drain. Repeat procedure with remaining dough
pieces, first allowing oil to return to 375 degrees. While second
batch of balls drains, in 3 quart saucepan over medium high heat,
bring honey to boil; remove from heat. Pour in pine nuts (if desired)
and stir. Stir in all fried dough balls to coat thoroughly.
Spoon honey coated dough balls onto large serving platter.
With hands lightly oiled to prevent sticking, arrange balls in cone
shape.
Sprinkle with nonpareils and candied cherries. Best if chilled in the
refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
Makes 8 servings.

Crispy Pizza Crust

I recently saw a recipe for Neapolitan Pizza. The recipe is
for commercial use and so the oven temp called for 800 degrees.
Is there a way to achieve the same crisp pizza crust without
such a high temperature. I don't even think my oven goes that high.
Thanks,
Camille
Hi Camille,
Well, it won't be easy. Those recipes are made for pizza ovens, which get a lot hotter than ordinary ovens.
You can try 550°F. Be sure the oven is thoroughly hot before putting the pizza in.
When making cheese pizzas, you can make the crust crispier by putting a layer of cheese on first, before the tomato sauce.
But with Neapolitan style pizza, you can't do that.
