Recipe: THE Cake
One of my sister's makes a dessert so delicious that there can only be one name for it: THE Cake. It's actually a pretty simple recipe, but it hits on all the right things: Chocolate? Check! Toffee? You betcha! Whip cream? Of course!
Luckily, I get to eat this at least once a year, due to the fact that someone in my family requests it for their Birthday cake (it's usually me). She was hesitant to share this recipe, but we agreed that true dessert lovers would be worthy enough. That said, here is the recipe in all it's glory. Note: full credit for this recipe goes to her mom who also knows a good dessert when she sees/eats it.
THE Cake
Yield: Makes 12 hefty servings, 15 wimpy servings
Ingredients
1 pint whipping cream

10 crushed Heath bars
1 box German chocolate cake mix
Directions
1. Make cake according to recipe in greased 2, 8" round pans, let cool
2. Crush Heath bars (leave 1 crushed bar aside). Pro Tip: my sister's technique is putting them in a plastic bag and hitting them with a hammer, but any kind of mallet will do
3. Whip whipping cream until firm
4. Fold all but the 1 crushed bar into whipping cream
5. Once cake has fully cooled, frost first layer of cake with whipping cream/Heath bar mixture
6. Place second cake layer on, frost

8. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve
