Cheddars Hot Fudge Cake Sundae: Price, Calories & Nutrition Guide
The Cheddars Hot Fudge Cake Sundae is the biggest dessert order on the menu: a huge slice of chocolate fudge cake turned into a full sundae, with vanilla ice cream, homemade hot fudge, whipped cream, chopped nuts and a cherry on top. It is not a scoop with a cake slice on the side — the cake is the base of the sundae itself, and everything else is built over it.
The price is $8.49 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s, and Cheddar’s official nutrition guide lists it at 2,510 calories — the highest-calorie dessert on the entire menu. This guide covers the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae price, what comes on it, its calories and full nutrition, what to pair it with, and how to order it online.

What Comes With the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae?
Order the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae and the plate starts with a huge slice of chocolate fudge cake. Over it go the sundae components: vanilla ice cream, a pour of homemade hot fudge, whipped cream, chopped nuts and a cherry on top. Every one of those toppings can be left off in the ordering page’s Customize Dessert step — chopped nuts, whipped cream, ice cream, cherry and fudge are all removable toggles, and the same topping options include caramel sauce and chocolate sauce. No toggle carries an extra charge.

How Much Does the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae Cost?
The Hot Fudge Cake Sundae price is $8.49 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s — the top price on the dessert menu, one dollar above the Fried Apple Pie and the Classic Cheesecake at $6.79 and fifty cents above Cheddar’s Legendary Monster Cookie at $7.99. What the $8.49 buys is a dessert built to be split: a full slice of chocolate fudge cake plus a complete sundae on one plate, sized for the table rather than for one person working alone. Customizing it costs nothing extra — removing any topping is free in the ordering flow.

Hot Fudge Cake Sundae Nutrition and Calories
The Hot Fudge Cake Sundae is listed at 2,510 calories in Cheddar’s official nutrition guide, and the Arlington menu displays exactly the same figure — the two official sources agree. That makes it the highest-calorie dessert Cheddar’s sells, a full 960 calories ahead of the next dessert down, the Legendary Monster Cookie at 1,550. The panel below covers the sundae exactly as served; the guide prints one combined row for the whole dessert, cake, ice cream and toppings together.

What to Pair With the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae
A Cheddar’s Legendary Monster Cookie ordered alongside it gives the table the menu’s other great shareable dessert. One plate is a warm, house-made chocolate chip cookie served sundae-style with ice cream and hot fudge; the other is this fudge cake sundae — two different builds of the same chocolate-and-ice-cream idea, at $7.99 and $8.49.
A Classic Cheesecake is the lighter counterweight for anyone at the table who wants dessert without going near the sundae’s numbers. The creamy cheesecake with its shortbread cookie crust and strawberry purée sits at 760 calories and $6.79, so one person can have a full dessert of their own while the rest of the table works on the sundae.
A Top Sirloin dinner is the main course this sundae was made to follow. A steak dinner first, then one Hot Fudge Cake Sundae in the middle of the table with a spoon for everyone, is the classic way to close a Cheddar’s meal — the dessert is sized for exactly that role.
A Sundae Built on Cake
Most sundaes are scoops in a dish with sauce over them. This one starts somewhere else: with a huge slice of chocolate fudge cake as the base, and the ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, chopped nuts and cherry built over the slice. That changes what the dessert is. The cake holds the warm fudge and the melting ice cream the way a slice of cake does, so every spoonful is part cake, part sundae, rather than ice cream with crumbs at the bottom.
It also explains the number at the top of this guide. At 2,510 calories — with 351 grams of carbs and 275 grams of sugars — the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae carries more calories than a full day of general nutrition advice uses as its reference point, and more than any entrée plate on the menu. Read it for what it is: a table dessert. Ordered for the middle of the table and shared, it is a reasonable finish to a family dinner. Ordered for one person, it is a challenge, not a dessert course.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
At 2,510 calories, this is a sharing dessert by any measure, and the figures that explain why are the sugars (275 g), the total fat (116 g, 56 g of it saturated) and a sodium count of 2,000 mg that surprises most people in a dessert. On allergens, Cheddar’s official allergen guide marks the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae for peanuts, soy, eggs, dairy, wheat and gluten — note the peanuts flag, which the guide prints for this item: the chopped nuts on top can be removed in the customize step, but the printed flag stands and guests with a peanut allergy should treat it seriously. Cheddar’s warns that its kitchens use shared cooking and preparation areas, so cross-contact can occur. It cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens.
