Thin Ten Layer Cake-OMG IT'S THAT GOOD!

This is another SC favorite. This one is great for potlucks, church picnics, cookouts, holidays...it is so good, and people won't stop talking about it. It's been made in my family for many years, and my most requested cake. I can't seem to make enough of it!

Ingredients:

2 boxes Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Gold cake mix

** Ingredients listed on box to cook cake**

Non stick cooking spray

10- 10"x10" squares of parchment or wax paper

2-6 (as many as you have) 8" or 9" round baking pans

Icing-Most important Part!

3 cups of sugar

7 tablespoons of cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 can of evaporated milk

2 sticks of butter



Directions:

1. Make the cake batter according to the directions on the box. Two mixes will easily fit in to a kitchen aid stand mixer. Preheat oven to 375 as directed on the box.

2. The fun part- spray pans with non-stick spray very well between each use. Put about 1 cup of batter in to pan, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Spread the batter evenly and drop it on the counter to release any bubbles...cook layers two or three at a time, depending on the number of pans you have. You will end up with ten layers total. Release each layer on to wax or parchment paper. I like to cut out ten squares of parchment paper and have them ready as they come out of the oven. Layers should be about 1/4-1/2 inch thick, if they tear a bit coming out of the pan, don't worry about it.

3. When layers are all done go ahead and get a large sauce pan ( I prefer stainless steal because I don't like getting black bits from my non stick pan in my icing)

4. Add sugar, cocoa, and salt to the pan, stir well combining ingredients well. Add the evaporated milk, and butter. Turn the heat on medium.

5. stir mixture constantly, making sure that it doesn't stick to the bottom. No need to be vigorous with stirring, just make sure it isn't sticking.

6. Bring mixture to a boil for approximately 8-10 minutes, the mixture should coat a spoon and keep its shape when dripped on a piece of wax paper. Remove from heat.

7. place your first layer of cake on a cake board or cake plate, pour a ladle of hot icing over the layer, slightly pushing it over the edges. Continues with all ten layers. Be sure the entire cake is coated with chocolate icing. Serve warm or cooled.



Serve small slices, this cake is rich, and a chocolate lovers dream....
