Or, if your husband is anything like mine, DO try this at home.
M- doesn't love cake, no he wouldn't pass it up if someone handed him a slice. He just seems to gravitate to the pudding, key lime, and silk pies of the world, pies and snack cakes. Snack-cakes = M's FAVORITE. Terrible yes, but whatever, he's pretty healthy even if he and Little Debbie do have a personal relationship.
For his birthday the other day I decided to not drive myself nuts worrying that the cake I made was moist enough, or cool enough to frost in time to serve. I decided to take some of his favorite foods and make a cake. CAKE is stretching it a bit, you'll see.
Warning: Not for the faint of heart,
or any cake purists out there.
These are the three main ingredients, Pudding, Swiss Rolls and Whipped Cream. (It only gets worse)
Mix almost equal parts pudding and whipped cream
This going to be the 'glue' that holds the rolls together.
Put a heaping tablespoon of your glue on your plate. Begin arranging the rolls on the plate in circular fashion. This way, after it is frosted it will look like a little round cake.
Continue to glue your pieces together until it is the size you want, I added one more row around the outside. Wipe your plate clean and put in the freezer for about 15 minutes. When it comes out frost with whatever you want, I used the leftover pudding mixture, some actual frosting and a bit of whipped cream and chocolate jimmies.
I forgot to take a finished picture before I cut it in half to serve, that's what that line is.
This is what the inside looks like after serving it up--
Terrible? Yes.
Ahhmazing? Yes.
This little cake was about 7 inches wide and made about 12 servings because the slices were SO rich and SWEET!
Enjoy, or don't.
