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 1/3 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. :)
