INGREDIENTS:
2 9-Inch Layers Of Choc. Cake 1/3 c Light Corn Syrup
1 Fudge Icing (Recipe) 1 c Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
1 Caramel Sauce (Recipe) 2 ts Butter
1 1/2 c Cashews, Roasted, Unsalted 1/8 ts Salt
2 c Heavy Cream 1/3 c Heavy Cream
2 1/2 lb Semisweet Chocolate
2 9-Inch Layers Of Choc. Cake 1/3 c Light Corn Syrup
1 Fudge Icing (Recipe) 1 c Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
1 Caramel Sauce (Recipe) 2 ts Butter
1 1/2 c Cashews, Roasted, Unsalted 1/8 ts Salt
2 c Heavy Cream 1/3 c Heavy Cream
2 1/2 lb Semisweet Chocolate
FOR CAKE: Slice round cake layers horizontally in half to make 4 round cake layers. Place 1 layer on plate and top with Fudge Icing, Caramel Sauce and Cashews. Repeat with next 2 cake layers. Place final cake layer on top, frost top and sides of cake with Fudge Icing and cover sides of cake with chopped cashews. FUDGE ICING: Bring cream to boil. Stir in chocolate until melted and smooth. This will be very soft but will harden when cooled. Refrigerate until workable consistency. NOTE: The time it takes to get to a workable consistency depends on the weather. This is much like making fudge candy. The author, (Arlene Lightsey), made this sauce on a cool, clear day and had no problem. CARAMEL SAUCE: Bring first 4 ingredients to boil and reduce to thick syrup. Very carefully, (because it will splatter), add cream. Refrigerate until cool.
