BONNIE'S BLUE RIBBON CHOCOLATE DREAM CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Bake cake according to package directions for a 9X13 inch pan, then poke holes in it with a wooden spoon handle about an inch apart.
• 2. Crush the chocolate bars, reserve 1/4 cup for the top.
• 3. In the microwave, heat up the caramel in a pyrex glass measuring cup until it can be poured easily. (about one minute) Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the holes, then pour the Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk over it. (Be sure the condensed milk is at room temperature so it will pour.)
• 4. Sprinkle the crushed chocolate bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. You can do chunks or crumbs. (I like chunks.)
• 5. Let the cake cool completely on a rack in the fridge. Then top with whipped cream frosting--recipe below. Refrigerate and serve right from the pan. Flavors meld the best when allowed to sit overnight.
• 6. Frosting: Whip the 1 1/2 cup of heavy cream and the 1/4 cup of sugar until very stiff. Frost and decorate the top of the cake with some more chocolate toffee bar chunks or pulverized candy, and then add swirls of caramel topping.
• 7. Cooks tip: I use a Devil's Food Cake mix that is 50% less fat and you would never know it! (Every little bit helps!) Enjoy!

In small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together 1/2 cup of the cream, corn syrup, vanilla and egg yolks. Cook, whisking constantly, 5 to 6 minutes or until mixture is thick, covers back of spoon and reaches 160ºF. On instant-read thermometer. (Be careful not to overcook.) Strain yolk mixture into chocolate. Immediately whisk briskly, making chocolate shiny and satin-smooth. Cool to 80ºF. to 85ºF. (Mixture should feel comfortable to the touch.) In large bowl, beat remaining 2 cup cream and vanilla pudding at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form; fold cooled chocolate mixture into whipped cream. To frost cake: lay first layer, flat side up, generously frost leaving a thick layer of frosting in center of the first layer. Top with last cake layer, flat side down, pressing slightly and frost with remaining frosting; refrigerate for 1 hour 3). For Ganache: Bring cream and corn syrup to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add both chocolates; let stand 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Add butter; stir until melted. Let stand until barely lukewarm but still pourable, about 20 minutes.
