Of course, you’ll get to decide what flavors you want in your cake. Next up is a layer of thick, luscious, and decadent hot fudge. Drool-fest!!! You can use store-bought fudge in a pinch, but it’s much better to make it yourself. Last, but not least, is a layer of fluffy, heavenly whipped cream. It’s okay to use Cool Whip, but nothing beats freshly whipped cream. Together, these five layers make the most sinful and decadent cake. Did you notice that not once did I mention the oven?
