Preparing the Cake Batter

- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

- Slowly add the hot water to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin.
Baking the Cake

- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan.
Making the Fudge Frosting
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat and add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk until the frosting is smooth and glossy. Adjust consistency if needed.
Frosting and Serving
- Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the fudge frosting evenly over the top.
- Use a fork to create wave-like patterns in the frosting for the signature look.
- Cut into squares and serve your homemade Red Lobster Chocolate Wave Cake.
