I couldn’t find an official Paula Deen “5‑Minute Fudge Cake” recipe specifically — Paula Deen does have a famous 5‑Minute Fudge candy recipe, but that’s a no‑bake fudge candy (not a cake). (Paula Deen)
Here’s what’s available from her official recipes:
🍫 Paula Deen’s 5‑Minute Fudge (Fudge Candy — not a cake)
This is Paula’s quick fudge you can make on the stovetop in about 5 minutes: (Paula Deen)
Ingredients
- 1⅔ cups sugar

- 4 tbsp butter
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 (6‑oz) bag semisweet chocolate chips

- ½ cup chopped pecans (optional) (Paula Deen)
Method
- Combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat, add chocolate chips; stir until melted and smooth.

That’s her famous 5‑minute “fudge” — classic Southern no‑bake candy. (Paula Deen)
🍰 Paula Deen Cake Recipes That Do Exist
While not a 5‑minute fudge cake, Paula Deen does have several fudge‑style cake recipes on her official site, such as:
- Flourless Chocolate Fudge Cake — rich baked cake with chocolate and egg whites. (Paula Deen)
- Boston Fudge Cake with Fudge Sauce — chocolate cake with a hot fudge sauce. (Paula Deen)
- Savannah Chocolate Cake with Hot Fudge Sauce — sheet cake with fudge sauce. (Paula Deen)
These are full baked cakes with fudge elements, but they aren’t the 5‑minute stovetop fudge candy. (Paula Deen)
