I needed a fancy homemade cake, but my oven has broken down and this recipe came to the rescue. I did alter it, however. I used a 10 inch round pan, made extra crust and pressed it up the sides, doubled the ice cream (using chocolate and vanilla swirled together), I mixed chopped M&M's in with the vanilla icecream only, put one layer of ice cream, one of peanuts and one of fudge sauce, another ice cream layer, peanuts, sauce, then one more ice cream layer. I topped it off with this recipe: 2 cups cream, 1 cup icing sugar, 1/2t vanilla 1/2 cup cocoa beaten together and piped on the top. Spectacular dessert. Once cut the fudge layer seems to ooze out so I pressed cardboard against the sides of the leftover cake and that did the trick!

Something made this taste horrible when I made it, and I can't figure out what it was, as I followed the recipe. Smelt delicious simmering away all day, but when I went to taste it, ugh! Even after trying to doctor it to suit my families tastes, most of it ended up in the rubbish. Will stick with my quick spaghetti sauce recipe.

I was craving a roast and since my oven has broken down I decided to search for a pot roast recipe. This was my first attempt at a pot roast, and I was amazed at the results. Delicious. I think I may stick with this recipe even after the oven gets fixed!
