Don't know whether to laugh or cry...
I recieved the following "recipe" on one of my Yahoo Groups. At first I thought it was for Chocolate HEALTH Bar Cake. Boy was I wrong!! It is so sad that the person who sent it really thinks this is food!! Her comment was: My son hates cake, but he LOVES this!
Like a car wreck, I just had to share!
CHOCOLATE HEATH BAR CAKE
1 German chocolate cake mix
1 jar caramel topping
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 lg. carton Cool Whip
2-3 Heath candy bars, crushed
Mix and bake cake mix as directed on the package. When done, use the handle of a wooden spoon to punch holes in the cake. Pour the caramel topping and condensed milk over the cake. Let the cake cool. Spread the Cool Whip over the cake. Sprinkle the crushed Heath bars over the Cool Whip. Serve in small portions because of the richness.
Yeah, I'll bet. My teeth hurt just reading it. Reminds me of that awful jello salad with "things" congealed in it...like cabbage and peanuts...gross.
Every recipe commented on in this thread seriously sounded disgusting...yet I was amused enough to continue reading ::) Who in the world thinks up these things? Cabbage and peanuts in jello? Every sweet thing in my house on top of an already sweet chocolate cake? I bet my mother in law would seriously love that first recipe...yuck
I've actually made that cake once and never again. It's one of those cakes that sometimes come under the title of "Better than Sex Cake" and of course that title intrigued me so I made it. We couldn't eat it because it was so sickly sweet. I might have known reading the ingredients. A couple of years after I had discarded that recipe to the "never try again" pile, one of my co-workers brought this to work as a treat. I passed on it knowing what it was, but the rest of the staff room just gobbled it up as if they were sex-starved.
BTW this cake could be easily veganized if you'd like to kill a vegan diabetic you didn't like. >:D
Hey! If you know a vegan way to make this cake, let me in on it, because our family makes this cake for special occasions, and it is one of the best cakes I've ever tasted! Every time I make it, it is a HUGE hit! However, I want it to be vegan so that I can enjoy it when I want to. I didn't know there was any vegan way to make this! My mom made up her own title to this cake..."Chocolate Dream Cake". It sure is! I want the healthier vegan version...do you have it???
To veganize this cake you would make a vegan chocolate cake (lots in the recipe site) and make vegan sweetened condensed milk, http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6295.0 and vegan caramel sauce. To make a caramel sauce make the condensed milk and heat it slowly until it caramelizes. I don't think this cake will ever be healthy no matter how vegan it is unless of course you made the cake with whole wheat flour but that'd be only a token gesture. :)
