Our neighbor brought this over and John could not stop raving about how good it was. So I asked her for the recipe:
Bake a German Chocolate Cake according to the box instructions. As soon as it comes out of the oven, poke holes all over the cake with a skewer or large-pronged fork. Be careful not to poke through to the bottom of the cake. Mix a can of sweetened condensed milk with a jar of butterscotch topping and pour it over the hot cake - the sauce will drip through the cake and make it moist and gooey. Let it set for an hour, and then put it in the fridge for an hour.
When the cake is totally cold, I whip up heavy whipping cream and add a few tablespoons of powdered sugar, and then spread it over the top of the cake.To simplify, you can use cool whip, but real whipped cream always tastes so much better to me!
For the fudge sauce topping, I make my own. Here is the recipe:
1 can (1 1/3 C) evaporated milk
1/2 C butter
2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Melt chips, butter, milk and powdered sugar
Bring to a boil
Cook for 4 minutes - stirring constantly
Take off heat and allow to thicken
Add vanilla
Last but not least, I chop up 4 Heath bars and put it on the top. Not the healthiest cake, but it is one of Mike's favorites. Enjoy!
