2 9-inch layers of chocolate. Cake
1 Caramel Sauce (Recipe)
2 c Heavy Cream
1/3 c Light Corn Syrup
2 ts Butter
1/3 c Heavy Cream
1 Fudge Icing (Recipe)
1 1/2 c Cashews, roasted, unsalted
2 1/2 lb Semisweet Chocolate
1 c Brown Sugar, firmly packed
1/8 ts Salt
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. Recipe from Pastry Chef Jenny
Mattingsley, of Pour la France, 7959 Broadway, San Antonio,
