This cake is so, so delicious. It serves quite a few because the slices are very tall but you can cut them thinly and serve them on big plates drizzled in hot fudge...delicious!! It's a very pretty cake with layers of cake and chocolate creamy frosting.
Ingredients:
~ 1 box devils food cake mix
~ 1 pint heavy whipping cream (no substitutions)
~ 1 8oz cream cheese
~ 2/3 c. brown sugar
~ 1 tsp. vanilla
~ 1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
~ 1 king size Hershey's candy bar (for shaving on top)
~ 1 jar hot fudge topping
Directions:
Make cake batter according to package directions. Grease and cocoa (like flouring) two 8" round pie pans and bake cakes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Turn cakes out onto a wire rack. Cool. Split each in half (so you have 4 rounds).
Whip whipping cream until fluffy. In a separate bowl combine cream cheese, vanilla, brown sugar & salt. Add to whipping cream. On a serving tray or cake server layer one round cake, frost generously (saving enough for remaining layers) and continue with layers finishing with frosting. Shave chocolate bar on top and refrigerate. To serve, "pie slice" and place on serving dishes. Warm hot fudge and drizzle over each piece. Serve immediately. (TIP: You'd think the more fudge the better, but even if you're a chocolate lover, the most delicious way to enjoy this dessert is with just a little drizzle of hot fudge. Don't overdue it! It will be plenty, I promise)
