World Cup season is over. It ended with quite a rivalry between Ryan and I. His "people" are originally from Spain and my ancestors on my mom's side are Dutch. So we razzed each other and trash talked each other and in the end he did his victory dance. Well, in order to celebrate the end of the World Cup, we were invited to a party and I provided the deserts. I got a lot of requests for the recipe for "Dutch Victory Cake" which of course has now been renamed "Dutch Consolation Cake." It is simple to make, but be aware that the flavors need time to marry so you will want to prepare this about 3-4 hours before you plan to serve it.
Ingredients:
1 pkg. chocolate cake mix
1 pkg. peanut butter chips
4 1/4 cups cold milk, divided
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
2 pkgs (5.9 oz each)instant chocolate pudding mix
1 carton cool whip
4 Nestle Crunch Bars, crumbled
Directions:
Prepare the cake according to package directions. Cool on a wire rack. In a heavy saucepan, combine chips, 1/4 cup milk, and cream. Cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted; Stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature. Place the remaining milk in a mixing bowl; beat in the pudding mixes on low speed for 2 minutes. To assemble, crumble half of the cake into a 4qt. trifle bowl or large bowl. Layer with half of the peanut butter sauce, pudding, whipped topping and candy bars; repeat layers. Cover and keep in fridge for at least 3-4 hours before serving.
Very yummy and can be customized to suit dietary needs. For instance, the lady who hosted the party cannot have milk chocolate, only white. So, simply exchange the chocolate cake for white cake, the pudding for white chocolate pudding or vanilla, keep the peanut sauce because it is amazing, and then put another type of candy bar to provide the crunch. The Hershey's brand cookies and cream bar may make it taste yummy. Enjoy.
