And while I wait on the oven to finish baking our breakfast...

We attempted to recreate that fudgy texture with our cake (call it science for the weekend) on my birthday cake (yesterday was the big day!)...

Not the exact results expected and hoped for, but still quite yummy!

We iced the hot cake with chocolate fudge frosting, returned it (on purpose) to the oven for 5 minutes, cooled it at room temp., and later frosted with more chocolate fudge frosting.  The fudgy frosting sank into the cake and gave it a nice moist texture and was quite yummy.  Probably further oven time and cooling in the fridge or freezer would get us to that chewy fudge texture....maybe next cake?!
