koinonia cake recipe
matt came home from bible study last week and let me know that he signed up to bring a dessert to their koinonia the following week. (the definition of koinonia is: christian fellowship with God or with fellow christians; my definition is: husband is eating dinner at bible study so my kids are eating cereal for dinner.) he offered to pick a cake up from the store...nuh, uh, i'm not too busy to make a dessert for matt's bible study. once the cake was done and we smelled the sweet scent, the kids and i thought maybe we should eat it and let matt pick up his store bought cake after all. instead i put a spider on the cake hoping the men wouldn't eat it and matt could bring it home. the pastor over the bible study said, "Your talking about men sarah, you think a fake spider is going to hinder them..?? They are going to rip into that thing like a hobo with a bologna sandwich....!!" he was exactly right...in fact come to think of it, i didn't see the spider in the cake pan, i wonder if one of the guys ate that too?
so here's the recipe:
chocolate box cake (for this one, i used a butter choc. cake, but any kind is good)
can of sweetened condensed milk
jar of caramel ice cream sauce
tub of cool whip
2 broken up score bars (don't put these next to the crockpot...they will melt)
make a chocolate cake from a box as directed in a glass 9x13 pan. as soon as it's out of the oven, poke holes all over it, lots and lots of them. pour the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce all over the top. (i put the caramel in the microwave for a few seconds so it's of a pouring consistency. when the cake cools, top it with whipped cream and the score bars. garnish with a spider and send it to koinonia!
