Easy Chocolate Cake With Strawberries, Raspberries and Candy bars !

Good Morning !
Last week was one of my sons 21st birthday .. So I came up with this cake full of strawberries, raspberries and hershey bars ! I made a regular devils food chocolate cake in 2- 8 inch round pans.

I sliced up a container of strawberries and left a few whole ones to place on the top. I added the raspberries and about 1/8 cup sugar .. I chopped the hershey bars I used 8 of them into small pieces.I beat a carton of heavy whipping cream until it was stiff in my mixer.When the cake was cooled, I added 1/2 of the strawberries and raspberries, to the top of the first layer. Then dolloped on some of the whip cream, then added the rest of the strawberries and raspberries ..!/2 of the chopped candy bars, more whip cream , then the other layer of cake.

I used the whip cream then to frost the whole outside of the cake ..then added the rest of the chopped hershey bars and the whole strawberries for decoration. It tasted amazing and was so pretty too !

My daughter and I also made a trip to the Good Will store.. I found 2 different sets of great winter salad/desert plates, one is the 12 days of Christmas.. the other is snowmen.. A really cute salt and pepper snowman set , Santa mug , the cute little oval mirror will be a chalkboard.. and a rusty lantern ..

I spent $13.00 for it all , looked up the 2 dish sets on Ebay , and the snowmen plates were $19.99 each ! The 12 days of Christmas I found for $29.00 .. I think I got some really cute things !

We had another snowstorm yesterday .. I had to enlist everyone to help shovel :) The youngest grandson loves the snow!

Hershey bar cake

Hope you are in the mood for baking a cake :) Last night we had a big lasagna dinner, all the kids were here including the college boy.. My daughter made for dessert one of our family favorites, this candy bar cake. It is so good ! To make the cake you just need a box chocolate cake mix, we used devils food and bake it in 2 or 3 round cake pans. We used 2. Let the cake totally cool after baking , and make this frosting.

8 oz pkg cream cheese softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

10 (1.5 oz) candy bars

(we use Hershey chocolate bars)

12 oz container of cool whip ,thawed

Beat cream cheese and both sugars until creamy with electric mixer. Chop 8 of the candy bars and add them and the cream cheese mixture to the cool whip . Use the frosting in the middle of the 2 or 3 layers and all over the sides and top. Chop the last 2 candy bars and add to the top. Make sure to store in the refrigerator.

In the remodel progress the crown molding and the baseboards got installed. They still have to put the trim on the windows . We have to putty all the nail holes and caulk , then paint all the trim. We did get a huge surprise last night though, when one of the carpentry guys asked why we have carpet covering our oak hardwood staircase .. We had no idea the stairs are oak under the carpet , and we planned on putting hardwood stairs in later this summer ! So hopefully soon we will get to rip the nasty carpet off the stairs !
Have a great weekend ! Thank you for stopping by and your nice comments !
