Cake Batter: In a separate medium bowl, make the cake mix according to the instructions on the box or your selected recipe.

Creating the Marbled Cake:

Bake: Cook in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until done.

Adding the Finishing Touch:

Hot Fudge: Drizzle the desired amount of warm hot fudge over the cooled cake for a rich, glossy finish.

Notes

Serving Tips:

Warm It Up: For an extra decadent experience, serve slices of Midnight Fudge Cake slightly warmed. You can microwave individual slices for about 10-15 seconds.
Add Ice Cream: Pair the cake with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a classic combination.
Drizzle More Fudge: Just before serving, drizzle additional warm hot fudge over each slice for an indulgent finish.
Garnish: Add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or a few fresh berries for a touch of elegance.

Storage Tips:

Room Temperature: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Refrigeration: For longer storage, keep the cake in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to a week. Make sure to bring it to room temperature before serving or warm individual slices in the microwave.
Freezing: If you want to keep the cake for an extended period, you can freeze it. Wrap individual slices or the whole cake tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, and store in a freezer-safe container. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
Hot Fudge Storage: Store any remaining hot fudge topping in the refrigerator. Reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm and pourable before using.
