Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 frozen pound cakes, thawed
- 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Preparation:
In medium bowl, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk and microwave on medium for 2-3 minutes, stirring twice during cooking time, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. With half of the mixture, frost one cake: spread about 1/4 cup on the bottom layer of the pound cake, place another cake layer on the frosting, and repeat layers. Use toothpicks to keep the layers stable as you work.
Then frost the top and sides of the reassembled cake. If the frosting thickens, microwave on low for 15-20 seconds until spreadable. Repeat with second pound cake and the rest of the chocolate mixture. Refrigerate until the frosting is set, then slice and serve.
OPTION 2: Use only one pound cake. Prepare chocolate mixture as directed. Measure out 1-1/3 cups of the chocolate mixture and set aside. Pour remaining chocolate mixture onto a small greased plate and set aside (that's the fudge). Frost the cake using the 1-1/3 cups reserved mixture, reassembling the layers as directed above, using toothpicks to keep the structure stable. Refrigerate until firm, then slice thinly and serve.
