  Categories: Cakes, Sauces
       Yield: 10 servings
  
       2 ea 9-inch layers of choc. Cake       1/3 c  Light Corn Syrup
       1 ea Fudge Icing (Recipe)                1 c  Brown Sugar, firmly packed
       1 ea Caramel Sauce (Recipe)              2 ts Butter
   1 1/2 c  Cashews, roasted, unsalted        1/8 ts Salt
       2 c  Heavy Cream                       1/3 c  Heavy Cream
   2 1/2 lb Semisweet Chocolate            
  
   FOR CAKE:
      Slice round cake layers horizontally in half to make 4 round cake
   layers.  Place 1 layer on plate and top with Fudge Icing, Caramel Sauce
   and Cashews.  Repeat with next 2 cake layers.  Place final cake layer on
   top, frost top and sides of cake with Fudge Icing and cover sides of cake
   with chopped cashews.
   FUDGE ICING:
   Bring cream to boil.  Stir in chocolate until melted and smooth.
   This will be very soft but will harden when cooled.  Refrigerate until
   workable consistency.        NOTE: The time it takes to get to a workable
   consistency depends on the weather.  This is much like making fudge candy.
   The author, (Arlene Lightsey), made this sauce on a cool, clear day and
   had no problem.
   CARAMEL SAUCE:
   Bring first 4 ingredients to boil and reduce to thick syrup. Very
   carefully, (because it will splatter), add cream.  Refrigerate until cool.
