This fudge pie a cross between a brownie and a dense chocolate cake, and better than either. Notice how there’s just 3/4 cup of flour? It’s a small dessert. Plus the pie is made in an 8-inch cake pan, not a pie dish. Kentucky Bluegrass Fudge Pie is a fun dessert to serve on Derby Day, at a party.
Don’t forget the a scoop of vanilla ice cream and Hershey’s chocolate syrup.
Description
Here is something fun to serve on Derby Day.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1-1/2 cups toasted pecan pieces (see note)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Grease an 8 x 1-1/2-inch cake pan and set it aside. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt in a bowl, stirring with a whisk to break up any cocoa lumps.
- Beat the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour mixture. Add the pecans, mixing well. Pour into the cake pan.
- Bake about 30 minutes, until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Do not over-bake. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. The pie may be dusted with powdered sugar or served with ice cream.
