imilarities
One could say that fudge cake is very similar to
red velvet cake . Obviously, a fudge cake is not the size of a full-sized chocolate cake, it's more like a pastry. Fudge cake is also similar to almost "every" chocolate cake, just miniature. Mostly, a fudge cake is similar to a brownie. The only difference is that fudge cake is fudgier, and chocolatier.Creation of fudge
About 100 years ago, fudge was founded by a woman named Abraham Laconia, a student at Florida State Community College in Poopship, Florida. She wrote that her schoolmate's cousin made jenkem in a truck stop bathroom in Baltimore, Maryland in 1886 and sold it for 40 cents a pound. Miss Hartridge got hold of the recipe (written on a napkin with lipstick), and in 1888, made 30 pounds (14 kg) of butt hash for the Vassar Senior Auction. Word spread of this confection to other women's colleges. (Wellesley and Smith have their own versions of this fudge recipe.)
Fudge Cake was also the name of John Redcorn's band on the animated television show
King of the Hill .Footnotes
