Hot fudge cake

I´ve been wondering what kind of recipe I should use to start this blog. As you will see, I really like desserts, and if they have some chocolate in it, even better.
On the bottom of this hot fudge cake, there is a fudge-like sauce, and on top, the cake. Serve warm. Top with ice cream or Cool Whip. I made a cake this week for some friends that came over. I pulled out the whipping cream and it was spoiled. We ate it without it and it was still good.
