It sure has been awhile since I posted! I have a litany of excuses, but I also have a lot of recipes to talk about, so let's get right to it!
My husband's birthday was almost two months ago now, so a great place to start is with his cake. As soon as I saw Jennifer's Oreo Cookie Cake (p. 106) when I first got the cookbook, I knew I would make it for my husband's birthday. I baked the cake portion (box mix, following the directions on the box) the night before so that it would be nice and cool and ready to ice after work the following day.
The icing is made of cream cheese, sugar, cool whip, and crushed oreos. You simply mix all of those together and put it in the middle of the two cakes you made from the box cake. Then you apply some dark chocolate fudge frosting to the top. I will admit I was a little disappointed (I like my baked goods complicated)... until I sliced it and realized that this clever oreo cake is designed to look like a GIANT Oreo cookie:
Here is a picture of the slice:
The cake was delicious, although I think I made a little too much of inside icing (the recipe called for a small container of cool whip and I'm wondering if there is a smaller size than what I used - or if I just wasn't supposed to use the entire amount of icing I prepared).
Thanks, Jennifer, for such a clever recipe!
