So, I have a small confession to make. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks catching up on Pretty Little Liars.
“Catching Up” = watching it from the beginning because I can’t remember where I left off.
I’ve watched 32 episodes of PLL in 13 days.
This does not make me proud.
I’m kind of obsessed, though. It started when I was traveling on business, continued while I was recovering from an awful cold, and well, now I have no excuse. Today though, I had a bit of a breakthrough. Instead of plopping down on the couch for little marathon session, I actually did a little bit of baking.
It’s nice, to be baking again, after quite a long hiatus. I think my cold/flu/bronchitis/probablypneumonia is finally gone, my laundry is caught up, and I feel like a real-live human being again.
Perhaps a 14-year old human being, but once I’m caught up I’ll start acting my age again, promise. (PS – who is your favorite PLL? I think I like Aria the best…)
Okay, anyway. Cake.
This cake is kind of amazing. I’m a big fan of the poke-cake anyway, but this one just really hit the spot today. The cake is infused with caramel sauce and topped with homemade whipped cream, so really I don’t see how you could possibly improve upon it.
Although I made my own yellow cake, you can certainly use a boxed cake mix. And homemade caramel sauce actually doesn’t work very well in this recipe, so stick with store-bought and you’ll be fine.
But please, PLEASE, do not use Cool Whip. Take the extra five minutes and make your own whipped cream. It will take your cake from good to AWESOME.
Hope you love it! Enjoy!
