Today's recipe comes from Elizabeth "Betsy" Massie. I met Betsy the first day of kindergarten; she had moved from Michigan and I had moved from New Jersey. She said I was the only one without the Southern accent. I would imagine both of us have fairly thick accents these days.
About the cake, she says: "Here is my favorite hot fudge cake recipe. If you cook the fudge like it says, you need a VERY large bowl because it bubbles. I usually cook it on high on the stove.
Oh and another thing. All you need to do to make the cake is the cooked pudding and the cake mix. Don't add eggs or oil or anything else."

This is strikeningly similar to my mom's family Hot Fudge Cake recipe. Only, this recipe is a bit more inventive. My mom's is just a straight box mix.
