Directions
- For the cake batter: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the brown sugar and butter, then add in the egg and vanilla. Since this cake is supposed to be fudgy and almost brownie-like, there is no need to cream this mixture as the extra air would make it too light. Stir in the milk and sift over the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Stir just until combined. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
- For the sauce: Whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar and cocoa powder in a glass measuring cup or a bowl with a spout. Add in the hot coffee and vanilla and whisk to combine. Retrieve the pan with the cake batter and, very slowly, pour the hot cocoa mixture over the back of a spatula or wooden spoon overtop of the cake, being sure not to mix it in.
- Carefully transfer the cake to the oven and bake until the top is set but the center is still wobbly, 20 to 22 minutes.
- For the sundaes. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or in a bowl over simmering water. Lay out a piece of parchment paper and, working with one potato chip at a time, dunk half of each chip into the milk chocolate. Set onto the parchment paper and allow the chocolate to cool and harden.
- Assemble the sundaes by layering ice cream with scoops of the warm saucy chocolate fudge cake. Top with whipped cream, chocolate-dipped potato chips, chopped peanuts and a cherry.
