| and there it is. |
Generally, I don't think birthdays are a big deal. I'm not the kind of girl who puts on a bejeweled tiara and acts like the queen. I AM the type of girl who likes eating, as you have probably realized by now. My birthday was pretty much a delicious excuse to make the most unhealthy cake that Steve would have no right to complain about. Mwahaha!
This sinful cake masquerades under many names, such as "Sex in a Pan" or "Better than Sex" or "Better than Anything" (if you are an elementary school student). I was thinking about making one for the statistics department and labeling it "Better than the Central Limit Theorem Cake." Whatever it is you love the most, this cake will be better (or at least that is the claim). The best part is that any dumb-dumb could manage to make this. The steps are nearly idiot-proof.

- Make a chocolate cake in a 9x13 inch pan. If you want to cut corners, just make a cake from a box! Easy-peasy.
- The moment the cake comes out of the oven, take a chop stick (or some utensil that is skinny) and poke a billion holes in the cake. If you can't handle a billion, then 30 or 40 should suffice.
- Slowly pour a can of sweetened condensed milk over the cake. Imagine it seeping its sweetness down into all those little holes. NOM!
- Pour caramel sauce over the top of the cake, too. If you are adventurous and have the work ethic for it, you could even mix the caramel and the condensed milk together first and then pour the combo over the cake.
- Chop a couple Snickers bars into little pieces and toss them on top. If you are a klutz, be careful to not cut yourself. (I have also seen recipes that call for Heath rather than Snickers. Your choice!)
- Turn OFF the oven, but set the cake back in so that the goodness melts as the oven cools down. Let it sit for maybe 20 minutes (exact timing is not important here), then put the cake into the fridge. Let the cake sit in the fridge overnight so that the runny nummies can thoroughly permeate the cake.
- Before serving, top the cake with whipped topping. If you care about appearances (shame on you), you can decorate the whipped topping with Snickers bits.
Remember, eat slowly and savor this little baby.
