Anniversary Bash


It’s our second wedding anniversary! Hooray!
I’m just amazed at all that has happened in the last two years. We’ve had a good run so far and I’m looking forward to 80+ more anniversaries.(duh! :P) I couldn’t think of a better person to be married to. I’m one lucky gal, and in celebration of two awesome years of marriage to such an amazing person I wanted to share just how freaking in love I am so I thought now might be a good time for yet another CAKE!! I was feeling all gooey and mushy as our anniversary approached, which very well reflected in the cake I made for him…

A better than sex cake !!!! Well now, many of my friends asked: "So, is it?" (You know, better than sex?) Given that my husband reads this blog, I'm just going to say: A lady would never tell….

In any event, this starts-with-a-box-mix cake is a cinch to whip up, but between you, me and the pants that may never fit again, it's a once a year endeavor. (Did I not mention chocolate, caramel, whipped cream AND toffee, right?) If you can, make it a day ahead so that the caramel sauce has time to sink into the cake and get happy…

Here’s the recipe… 

ingredients:

Vanilla Cake (use measurements for the small cake)
1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
8 oz of caramel
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Heath bars (or 12 mini Heath bars), chopped


directions:
Bake your Vanilla Cake in a round cake pan. When it comes out of the oven, poke it all over (I used both a chopstick and a fork). First pour the whole can of condensed milk over the cake. Pour next the caramel over the cake. Let the cake cool to room temperature. Cover it in plastic wrap and let it chill for at least 24 hours, even longer is better as it gives the cake more time to absorb the condensed milk and caramel.The frosting is made of icing sugar and Whipping Cream.The chopped health bars are spread in between for a crunch.
