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

ok, so just for clarification... the condensed milk turns into caramel?

if so, do you boil it for 2 hours WHILE making the cake, then its cool to just sit around, or do you wait till the next day (as the cake needs to be refrigerated overnight) and THEN boil it for 2 hours, opening it while its still hot and pouring it on top of the cake?

Yeah the milk turns to caramel and you put it on the cake the next day. It's probably not safe to open the can for a while after you've been boiling it.

you don't want to pour it hot over the cake, that would be ... bad.
