Romano's Macaroni Grill Warm Chocolate Cake With Fudge Sauce
"A while back I was looking for the AppleBee's Triple Chocolate Meltdown recipe...which I never did find, BUT...I have come across another fabu cake! The Macaroni Grill's warm chocolate cake with fudge sauce! I found this on the net, and have scaled the recipe down to 1 cake, and made a few changes."

The cocoa should be 6 T (3 oz). Even the restaurant recipe only calls for 6 oz. cocoa & that's for a half sheet cake. This recipe is cut in half for a 13x9. 1c cocoa is WAY too much. Likely why Jessica's cake didn't turn out. -
Ive never had this at the restaurant, but fabulous recipe. I took it to a church potluck and everyone loved it. I did only use 1/2 cup of cocoa as suggested and it was lovely. Hot fudge everywhere! -
Made this exactly how the recipe calls. Turned out AMAZING!

Wow! I made this recipe yesterday, but only used 3/4 cup of cocoa and it was perfect. Thanks! -
i made this cake and loved it!!! it tastes JUST like Macaroni Grill's, if not BETTER! i used sour cream instead of all of the mayonnaise because we were low on mayonnaise, but it came out great! great recipe!!! the icing is soo good!
