Cake Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
Add Boiling Water
Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make Fudge Sauce
While the cake is baking, prepare the fudge sauce by melting 1 cup of chocolate chips with 0.5 cup of peanut butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Prepare Popcorn
Pop 4 cups of popcorn and set aside. Drizzle some of the fudge sauce over the popcorn and toss to coat.
Serve
Once the cake is done baking, let it cool slightly. Serve slices of cake topped with warm fudge sauce and popcorn.
