Chocolate Filling or Icing (Fudgey)

"I needed a chocolate cake filling and found this recipe posted by Fragglerock1 on Cake Central. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup of hot water but I found that to be very thin and not suitable for filling a cake. I reduced the water to 5 tablespoons and it's just right. The consistency is like soft fudge and is wonderful on any type of cake as a filling or an icing. If you want to use it as a topping for ice cream increase the water to 1/2 cup. I find it is the perfect consistency when used as soon as it cools, but if you let it sit overnight it does become thicker. If it does become too thick you add additional hot water for a thinner consistency. In case you have a large containers of marshmallow cream and evaporated milk you would use 1 1/3 cups of marshmallow cream and 2/3 cup of evaporated milk. This will easily fill and ice an 8"or 9" cake."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Living in the south we are very lucky to have an abundance of fresh seafood and other ingredients at our disposal when trying new recipes. My husband and I both love to cook and have learned a lot about cooking from our native Louisianian, Paul Prudhomme (we learned to be very careful with his recipes as they are very spicy - even for us), native New Orleanian, Frank Davis and transplanted Emeril Lagasse. It would be very difficult to pick an all time favorite cookbook since I have approximately 200. I enjoy collecting local cookbooks as well as others from different areas. This picture is obviously when DH and I got married. I cooked all the food and even made my wedding cake.
