Recipe Notes

Fudge Cake Storage Instructions

This chocolate fudge cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 6 months in an airtight container

Fudge Cake Reheating Instructions

To reheat, place it in the microwave and heat in bursts. It can also be reheated from frozen. If you’re not fussed about it being reheated, it can be eaten cold, but I recommend at least warming it a little so that the chocolate sauce can loosen up.
