I WANT to make the cake. It sounds like a good cake. Actually, my right hand is currently strained to the point of near uselessness, so I'll get someone else to make the cake.

I just want to make sure I'm getting the instructions right.

...This long and no mention of Cheesecake? You people smurfing disgust me.

Second, what do you mean by "put this back in your saucepan"? If we're putting it "back" does that mean we've somehow removed the butter, cocoa powder, and Coca Cola from the saucepan?

As far as I can tell, we never removed anything from the saucepan in the first place. You tell us to grease the pan, check. Mix dry ingredients, check. Whisk in eggs and vanilla, check. Pour in greased pan, check. Where do we empty the saucepan? Or, if we don't, how do we put things "back" into it?

The saucepan is added to the dry ingredients, whisked, followed by the adding of the eggs and vanilla. The forms the cake part!

The second saucepan stuff is used as a glaze after the cake is already cookin'.

Cheesecake, while awesome, isn't cake. It's a custard pie that people call a cake. And I don't post a lot up here period, so don't blame me.

I see it. The "add in thirds" was referring to the first saucepan set, then we add the other things. Ok. Thanks!

I apologize for the double post, but I'm still trying to get this working.

That is my faaaaaaavorite cake.

Sorry, still working on this. Ok, so we stir until it's bubbly, then pull it off the heat. But we have to use it before it gets warm. But the cake doesn't come out of the oven for 30 minutes, right? So we should probably heat this to bubbling what, about 15 minutes before the cake is ready to come out, to make sure it has time to cool? I'm just afraid it will cool way too much if we start it immediately.

It needs to be very warm, almost hot, when you pour it over the cake. I start making the glaze about 15 minutes before the cake is ready to come out of the oven. This gives you plenty of time to get it smooth. You should stir the glaze constantly, like you would for a pudding. I should have mentioned that. The sugars can cause it to scorch. So use your left hand.

If cheesecake counts, cheesecake. If it doesn't count, screw you guys, I'm going to get some cheesecake.

Cheesecake counts as both pie and cake.

Cheesecake is cake cuz it has the word "cake" in it.

ha.

Flan is a custard.

I had tres leches cake over the weekend and it was sooooo good.

I love cake. Give me all the cakes.

Tres leches!! I can give you a cheater recipe if you want, Miriel! I'm really good at it lol...

I made it for my ex (who's Mexican, duh) & he went nuts. Then I made it for a white co-worker at Red Lobster for her bday & gave some to the alley coordinators and cooks and they loved it.

Oh foa. Oh my. How dare you. You taunt me.

I have to make that cake now.

I like a dark forest cake..topped up with cherries..

It's good! the only thing I want to warn you about that I just remembered! Make sure you use a toothpick or something else small to make your pinholes. I used the handle of a spoon and the holes were too big, so mine kind of looked like it had woodboring beetles hiding in it and all my glaze went right to the bottom.
