Caramel Mocha Cake

To celebrate the end of the school year, I decided to make a cake. It is a chocolate cake coffee icing and salted caramel sauce. Super yummy, but the caramel in the middle made the top layer want to slide off, so I skewered it to keep it in place.

The excessive doming of the top, combined with the color and the sprinkles and the skewer made it look like a giant hamburger. My kids said googly eyes make everything better, so I added eyeball sprinkles. My husband walked through the door and said “It looks like Mayor McCheese or Officer BigMac from the McDonald’s commercials”. Having grown up in a household with no fast food and limited screen time, I had no idea who they were, but after a quick google I had to conclude he was correct. Not exactly my original intent, but hey, it made the family smile and it was delicious, so I’m not complaining.

The comparison to old school McDonald’s commercial characters really is spot on. The cake sounds so good.
