Chocolate Oreo Birthday Cake

January 11, 2009

090111birthday

I combined a dark chocolate fudge cake mix, a tub of milk chocolate frosting, and some Oreos to create this double-decker dessert for J.’s birthday. What you can’t see is that in between the two layers of cake is a little bit of frosting and a layer of whole Oreos, so each individual slice had a surprise cookie inside. I am not very good at icing a cake, but the crushed Oreos around the edge covered all my mistakes, and I wound up with a nice-looking finished product. And a delicious one, at that. Most importantly, the birthday boy loved it!

Sweet Potato and Gruyère Turnovers: These easy pockets (using pre-made, refrigerated dough) sound delicious to me, and even include swiss chard -- something I always seem to have in my fridge from our CSA.

Cook to This

"Kids" by MGMT. Truly bizarre video, but a song that always perks my ears up when I hear it on the radio. They're a 21st century update of synth-pop bands I loved in the late 80s/early 90s (hello, New Order).
