Smothered Chocolate Cake


I have heard a few names for this cake, but I call it this because it is dripping with the sweet sauces.


1 chocolate cake (hot from the oven)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 jar chocolate sauce
1 jar carmel sauce

whipping cream

Just as you take your cake from the oven poke holes in the top and pour each of the remaining ingredients onto the hot cake and allow them to soak in. When the cake has cooled then you spread the remaining topping of the whipping cream on in a smooth layer. You can add chopped toffee pieces also (I prefer a smooth texture so I left off the toffee pieces, however they do add a great flavor to the dessert)
