TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MOCHA CAKE

Steps:

• Butter 2 8" cake pans or muffin pans, etc, and coat evenly with cocoa powder (I began using my new silicone pans with this recipe and did not need to pre-treat my pans with butter or cocoa).
• In large bowl mix together well first 8 ingredients with a wire whisk.
• Add eggs, chocolate milk, hot fudge topping, butter and vanilla; beat on medium for 2 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together hot water and instant espresso, stirring well to dissolve.
• Add espresso carefully to cake mix and beat until mixed well, batter will seem thin.
• Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake in pre-heated oven at 350º for about 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean; it's a dense cake and won't rise as high as you might expect.
• Cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
• Frost or dust with powdered sugar as desired.
