Chocolate Fudge Cake

ingredients:
Cake
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups (one 16oz can) Hershey's chocolate syrup
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)
1 cup flour

Frosting
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips




directions:
In a large saucepan heat the butter and sugar until melted and well combined.
Remove pan from heat and add vanilla and chocolate syrup.
Add eggs and beat well (with a spoon or whisk).
Add salt and flour and stir until fully combined.

Pour batter into a greased 9"x13" pan.
Bake in a preheated 350*F oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.

As the cake cools a bit, make the frosting.
In a saucepan, heat the butter, sugar and milk until it comes to a boil (stirring as needed).
Remove pan from heat and add chocolate chips. Do not stir for a minute or so and the chocolate chips will melt on their own. After a minute or two, stir to fully combine all ingredients.

Pour icing over the (still warm) cake, using an offset spatula to spread as needed.

Allow cake and icing to cool fully before cutting.
