Schmoo Torte

This recipe originates from my home church cookbook and was submitted by Helen Fast. The cake recipe for the Angel food was long and involved, so I simplified it by using a cake mix. This is the one time that I have no trouble using a mix. I also modified it by adding bananas and crushed Skor bars. Banana and schmoo (caremael sauce) just belong together, a marraige made in heaven.

I made this for our son's birthday bash and it needed to feed a lot a people so instead of making it into a torte, I made it into a trifle. I find that a trifle feeds more people and that is what I needed. It went over really well.

1 Pkg. Angel food cake mix
1/2 to 1 c. finely crushed pecans
Make cake according to the package directions, folding in the crushed pecans. Bake in a angel food cake pan. Let cook completely.

Schmoo sauce-
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups brown sugar
2 Tbsp butter

Icing-
2 cups whipping cream
2 Tbsp icing sugar

Optional- bananas and crushed skor bar.

If you were to make the Torte version, you would cut the cake into equal thirds.
Drizzle each layer with schmoo sauce, bananas, whip cream and skor bits.

Ice with whipped cream, drizzel sauce decoratively, sprinkle with skor bits.

this is the schmoo sauce after it is cooked, it thickens as it cools

I make extra schmoo sauce to pass around seperately, you can never have too much schmoo

cook the schmoo sauce for 5 minutes and let cool

I don't have a trifle bowl so I used a punch bowl and it worked great
