Death By Skor Cake
Health nuts; stop right here! Put yourself at ease by not reading ahead, because if a healthy dessert is what you are looking for, you have stumbled into the dark dungeon that is sugar. There is nothing healthy about this, except for how healthy it is for your soul. I mean, everything in moderation, right? This cake will take you into the dungeon, whisper sweet and beautiful things into your ear and then smite you with its deliciously sweet, decadent mace. All the other recipes for skor cake call for boxed cake mix. Screw that. This cake is so badass that everything is made from scratch. Don't trust this cake.
Makes one large cake
For the Devil's Food Cake:
- 2 C all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 C cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 2 C sugar
- 1 C vegetable oil
- 1 C hot, fresh coffee
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
Topping:
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 bottle of butterscotch ice cream topping
- 1 container of cool whip
- 5 skor bars, or skor bits
1. Preheat oven to 325 Celsius. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Add in oil, coffee and milk and mix until everything is incorporated and consistent. The batter will be thin.
3. Pour into a 9 x 13 greased and floured pan (I just used a Pyrex lasagna pan) and bake for 45 minutes.
4. Poke holes throughout the cake, about 2-3 inches apart. Mix the butterscotch and condensed milk and pour all over the top of the cake, so that it seeps through the holes.
5. Scatter some of the skor pieces over top.
6. Let cool COMPLETELY. I've made the mistake of being impatient, and the coolwhip just melts all over it. Still tastes lovely, but ruins the prettiness.
7. Spread cool whip all over top of the cake, and top with more skor pieces.
8. Prepare for total domination. This cake will fulfill all your sugary, chocolaty fantasies.
