Chocolate Caramel Heath Bar Cake image

This is incredibly moist and dense and rich. I have been adapting this recipe over the years and I think it's finally reached perfection. Enjoy! (Be sure to use quick cooking oats instead of regular oats, or the cake will have more of a crunchy texture.)

Time 50m

Yield 1 cake, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3/4 cups boiling water
1 cup quick oats
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
12 ounces chocolate chips
1/2 cup caramel syrup or 1/2 cup butterscotch syrup
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
1/3 cup butterscotch pudding, prepared
2 Heath candy bars or 2 Skor candy bars, crushed

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over oatmeal and butter in large bowl; mix until butter is melted and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Add sugar and eggs and mix well.
  • Mix together flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa and stir into wet mixture.
  • Mix in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter (it will be a little runnier than a usual cake batter) into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips over the top.
  • Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Don't overbake - check with knife after 30 minutes.
  • While cake is still quite warm, poke holes every two inches or so with the handle of a wooden spoon. Drizzle caramel syrup over the cake evenly, spreading if necessary to get it even and so it goes down into the holes a little.
  • Frosting:.
  • Just before serving, carefully fold the pudding (I use one snack-pack of pudding and it's about perfect) into the Cool Whip. Frost the cake with it and sprinkle the crushed candy bars evenly over the top.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers.
