"Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet" the saying goes and it is so lovely that people neither Ruthie nor I have ever met are rustling up Silver Screen Suppers dishes in kitchens all over the world. So a big thankyou goes out to Shirley in Wisconsin for testing and devouring Fred's Chocolate Cake.
This recipe certainly holds a few surprises the first time it is made and I love the fact that Shirley said, "the cake unexpectedly rested on a sea of fudge" - doesn't that just make you want to try it immediately?! It definitely is a gooey, chocolatefest of the highest order so be prepared to make a mess if you have a go at this one! Shirley took some pix of the process which you can see on her fab blog here: http://supperseed.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-is-it.html
I also love the fact that Shirley felt a swell of state pride as she whipped up the cake, as Fred hails from her in-laws' hometown of Beaverdam, Wisconsin.
Wonderful! Don't forget that you can always have a bottle of Fred McMurray wine to go with your cake - still being produced at his former vineyard in California - www.macmurrayranch.com - yum!

A "chocolate fudge upside down cake"? Sounds totally wacky! And tasty!
It's fabulous! And very easy too - you make the cake, pour a whole load of boiling water over the top and when you turn it out there is a gooey chocolate sauce in the bottom of the pan - genius!
There are a TON of recipes on here I'd love to ask you for... shall I just comment on the ones I'm interested in?
Do you have a master list someplace on the blog with all the recipes on it?
Anyway, this is one of the ones I would love to try!
Hi Jael - thanks for visiting! Unfortunately our publisher won't let us put the recipes up on the blog until the book is out. However, if you care to email me at silverscreensuppers@yahoo.co.uk I can send you the Fred McMurray recipe and a list of all those slated for the book. If you'd like to send us some feedback on the recipe we'll give you an acknowledgment in the book!
