Kiddo’s Aunt Burgle came in town for her birthday this year. Party! We always make Krispy Kreme bread pudding when she’s here but I wanted to up the ante a bit with some chocolate and some icing, it being her birthday and all. Want to try it yourself? Break out your fat pants!

Krispy Kreme chocolate cake

Ingredients

• 18 chocolate glazed Krispy Kreme donuts (a bit stale if you can stand to let them sit around), cut into chunks
• Six eggs
• 2 cans condensed milk
• pinch of salt
• 7 Tbsp. butter
• 2 heaping Tbsp. cocoa powder
• 3 Tbsp. milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 pound powdered sugar
• a Bundt pan

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. In a very large bowl thoroughly beat eggs and whisk in salt and condensed milk; stir in donut chunks and let sit for 15 minutes or so, stirring periodically
3. Grease and flour a Bundt pan (or use an oil-plus-flour spray) and pour donut mixture in; bake for 45 minutes or until set
4. Toward the end of cooking time make the icing: melt butter in a saucepan and stir in cocoa powder till completely combined; remove from heat and whisk in milk and vanilla, then powdered sugar; keep warm over low heat till needed
5. Cool cake in pan for ten minutes, then turn onto a plate or rack; immediately pour still-hot icing over top
6. Reconsider your ban on elastic waist pants
