    In medium bowl, beat cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Spread over top of cake; drizzle with remaining caramel sauce and chocolate syrup; sprinkle with peanuts.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke larger holes, if you prefer.
  • tip 2
    This cake can be made and left to soak up the caramel sauce up to a day ahead of time. Whip the cream and top it just before serving for best results.
