Directions

Equipment Needed 
oven Oven
large bowl Large Bowl
half-sheet pan Half-Sheet Pan
saucepan Saucepan
whisk Whisk
1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

2

To a large bowl, add all of the cake’s dry ingredients and whisk to combine.

3

To another bowl, add all of the cake’s wet ingredients (except the hot water, coffee or espresso) and whisk to combine.

4

Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until blended, adding the hot liquid at the very end. Mix well. Pour batter into a greased half-sheet pan, and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, set aside to cool.

5

Place all the caramel ingredients into a medium saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Raise heat to medium high and bring to a boil for three minutes, without stirring. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cut the cooled cake into 1 inch cubes.

6

Add the whipped cream ingredients to a large bowl and whisk vigorously until soft peaks form.

7

To serve, layer the cake, whipped cream, caramel, and chopped ROLO® Candies into a jar. Enjoy.
