Oh sweet mystery of life.
You are going to love this delectable dessert.
You are going to love that it is EASY-PEASY to prepare.
I recently made a big fancy-pancy-time-consuming-
layered-chocolate-toffee cake and guess what….
it wasn’t nearly as good as this simple dessert!
Don’t you love it when simple turns into
“holy cats, I need another bite of that dreamy cake this minute!”
I told you…
it’s a sweet mystery of life.

This is the best cake ever and the best name I've ever heard it called. Thanks for giving me a 'G' rated name.
Can you make this with a homemade cake? I'm going to try this out with my go-to chocolate recipe. It looks great!
Sounds Delish
You've done it again! This looks mighty tasty… and love that it can be thrown together in a jiffy!

You could most certainly use a homemade cake. In fact, I'm going to brouse your site to look for your recipe. I have looked and looked for one I like and have never come up with something I would make agian.
Thanks!

This has been my go-to dessert for family functions and the like, for years. Love it! When I got the recipe, I was told it was “Death by Chocolate” cake. I think your name's a better fit, though. ^_^
This is the best cake ever and the best name I've ever heard it called. thanx for the recipe.

Ohh i am addicted to chocolates… I do really love to try this one, I can't wait. Thanks for the share!
I make this for a family cookout. It was great. Everyone loved it. I used hersheys special dark chocolate bars and it was perfect. You would think that this cake would be very rich, or too sweet but it is not. It is perfect in my opinion. Thanks for posting it.
I need a really good chocolate cake recipe, and I plan to top it with a snickers bar or something. It has to be amazing, its for a familys birthday and i really want them to LOVE it!
Wow, I made my self one of this goodies and its really good.Thank you for blog post, keep it up.

I made this for a friends B day and he said it was one of the best cakes he's ever eaten. I didn't get to try it, but I plan on making again.
The cake is good. The frosting taste like marshmellow creme. I don't llike marshmellow creme.
I used yellow cake mix , instead of chocolate ( all i had ), then added poppy seeds & coconut to the frosting. very yummmy
Sadie,
Coconut and poppy seeds in the frosting! YUM! I'm going to try that next time.

are you supposed to mix the caramel and milk together and then pour over cake?
Anonymous,
You don't have to mix them together first. Just pour them on one at a time. Good luck!

Hi Jamie,
I found your blog through Our Best Bites. I love them and I really love your site already just since I started following you. My hubby and I love their guiltless alfredo so that's our favorite meal right now. I recently made 2 gallons of it for our church's valentines dinner. Everyone loved it. It's OH SO TASTY!!! Be blessed:) p_starliper@comcast.net
You would think that this cake would be very rich, or too sweet but it is not. It is perfect in my opinion. Thanks for posting it.
FYI when you click on the Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie bars recipe link from the October menu plan it goes to this cake page/recipe. Is there a cookie bar recipe?
Jeffri Ann,
Thanks for the heads up. I have checked all of the links, and they are working fine. Not sure why your computer was taking you to the cake recipe. Try this link to the Chewy Chocolate Chip Bars.
