Heath Bar Cake, you complete me.

Heath Bar Cake has quickly become a favorite dessert in our house (it’s main cake competition is this oatmeal cake with coconut walnut icing). It is caramel-infused chocolate cake covered with cool whip and heath candy bar crumble!

I don’t remember exactly when Melissa first made Heath Bar Cake for me. Sometimes it’s hard to remember specific details surrounding moments of euphoria. Or maybe it’s just that I have requested it so many times since that day that the details have now gone fuzzy. She probably gets tired of me asking for it, but I can’t help it. I love Heath Bar cake!

I love you Heath Bar Cake

The Secret to Great Heath Bar Cake

The secret to great heath bar cake is the caramel infusion of the cake layer which keeps it nice and moist and delicious! Perhaps you are familiar with the TV show Friends and the episode in which someone steals Ross’s Thanksgiving leftover sandwich (MY SANDWICH!) causing him to go Red Ross. The key to the sandwich was an extra gravy soaked slice of bread known as “the moist maker”. I liken this cake to that. Moist and oh so delicious.  And if someone steals my Cake I might just go Red Ross!
