Gooey Cake and First Posts

Well what do you know, my first post! This is a recipe straight from my mom, who was a wonderful cook and my best friend. It's called Gooey Cake and it's about to rock your world.

 

When I made this recipe for Game Night, one of our most loyal regulars said, "Oh! I thought you just made a cake, like a regular cake." This, my friends, is so much more than a cake. It's straight up divine.

 Your ingredients: chocolate cake mix, caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, condensed milk, cool whip, and chocolate sprinkles. Someday I'll be cool enough to make my own chocolate cake from scratch, but until then this is how it stays.

Once you have your cake made, poke holes in it with the thinnest spoon or utensil handle you have. Don't poke too many or you'll damage the structural integrity of the cake.

 Then, comes the magic. Pour the condensed milk over the top of the cake, making sure to pour over the holes that you made. This'll let the good stuff get all down in your cake.

Repeat the process with the chocolate syrup...

 Then the caramel. Yum.

 When the dust settles, it'll look something like this.

 Then just Cool Whip it, then add sprinkles. Then you can lick the Cool Whip bowl. Go ahead, I won't judge you. It's good for your health. You think I didn't do it? I did, and it was 8 o'clock in the morning.

Then, cut and enjoy. It's not clean, it's ooey, and gooey, and it makes a mess of plates, forks, and knives. But it is delicious.
