Cake recipe

I am going to share this cake recipe partly because it's the most delicious cake I've ever eaten and partly because I want to close the document off my desktop. There's no baking but you have to leave it over night. Like all delicious things it contains unconscionable amounts of sweetened condensed milk, butter, egg yolks, an sugar:

1 can condensed milk
1/2 lb. butter
1 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1 can nestle cream
1 pkg. marie biscuits
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla or rum

cover can of milk in water
boil covered for 2 hrs - do not open until ready to smother cake.
cream butter and sugar
add egg yolks
add vanilla or rum
fold in nestle cream
line a bowl with wax paper
dip biscuits in milk and layer with butter cream mix (appx 4 layers)
refrigerate overnight
invert onto platter and cover with caramel

Here's a pic Alexis took of her dad about to dig into one. It's not a very attractive cake, but I don't care about that.

Click the link below the pic of the can to see the nutrition information. I can't imagine that it's not available in Canada--the first time I had this cake was in Toronto, IIRC--there's a whole bunch of wonderful Guyanese in-laws there.

I thought it might look something like that! I'm in the process of gathering recipes for the desert table at my daughter's wedding. I don't think this is going to make it, strickly based on looks. I know. I know.
