Calories

Ingredients

  

• Devil's food cake follow directions on box
• 6 tablespoons hot fudge topping
• 6 tablespoons caramel topping
• 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
• 8 oz cream cheese I used fat-free
• ½ cup butter softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Mini Oreos for bottom border
• Sprinkles

Instructions

 

• Bake the Devil's food cake according to the directions for two round cakes.
• Allow to cool completely.
• When cake is almost cooled, in a medium bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese & together and add in the powdered sugar and vanilla on medium until well-combined. Should be smooth and very creamy.
• Use the back of a wooden spoon to poke holes around the bottom layer of the cake.
• Then fill the holes with 3 tablespoons of caramel and 3 tablespoons of hot fudge. Smooth out hot fudge topping on cake before frosting.
• Spread about ⅓ of the frosting across the bottom layer of the cake, making sure to get the frosting all the way to the edges.
• Next, put the top layer of cake on the bottom layer and use the back of a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake.
• Then fill holes again with 3 tablespoons of caramel and 3 tablespoons of hot fudge. Smooth out hot fudge topping on cake before frosting.
• Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and spread it along the edges and frost the whole cake.
• Add some decoratives--I added sprinkles and mini oreos.
• Allow to cool for 1-2 hours before serving so the frosting sets.

Notes

You can make your best guess and squirt it from the caramel & hot fudge bottle if it's easier, which it is. 🙂
