Take a look at this cake– a really good look. Why do you think this this cake called, “Chocolate Wasted?” Let me explain. There was a movie a while back called, “Grown Ups.” Parents are with their kids at a bar someone mentions “getting wasted.” The kids ask what “wasted” means, and the parents explain that it’s when you have too much of something that is good (like ice cream). Then the kids start saying they want to get ice cream wasted and chocolate wasted! That’s what’s happening here. This cake is completely overloaded with chocolate. And if you eat it, you just might become a bit drunk on chocolate!
What are the major chocolate components of this cake?
chocolate cake mix (yes… the recipe begins with a mix) chocolate milk chocolate chips chocolate pudding mix Snickers candy bar
How to make Chocolate Wasted Cake:
For the base cake, you’ll be jazzing up a boxed mix by adding chocolate milk, butter, eggs, sour cream, pudding mix and chocolate chips. That’s going to give you a very chocolatey bundt cake!
Next, it’s time to add the toppings, which involves quite a few things. Remember- it’s going to be overloaded with goodies. Read on!
A chocolate ganache comes first. It’s a simple mix of chocolate chips and cream.
The chocolate ganache glaze is drizzled on top of the cooled cake.
Then comes a little bit of caramel. That’s drizzled right on top of the chocolate glaze.
Finally, you’ll add some toffee bits and chopped Snickers candy bars.
You can get creative here and substitute the final touches with whatever candies you prefer. Use candies with chocolate in them since you still want to make it a Chocolate Wasted Cake!
It’s time to slice and eat. Since this cake is most definitely over-the-top, it makes a fabulous birthday cake. A little slice will be plenty to enjoy, and serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is a good idea since the chocolate will be very rich. Enjoy!
