Oooh following! I looked up the recipe, and ain't nobody got time. I know how to make great cream cheese frosting in less steps. Is that one so far superior?
I have never heard of or tasted this cake so grain of salt and all that, but I'd probably use a boxed butter cake and add sprinkles to it, make my own cream cheese frosting recipe, and make the crumbles as called for, except subbing my usual vanilla and vegetable oil, frost pretty much per my usual, add the crumbles and call it good enough.
I made it last week. And took a lot of shortcuts. I used a box mix (Betty Crocker Party Rainbow Chip cake mix) for the crumbles and the cake layers. For the crumbles, I used one box of mix and doubled the wet ingredients. Worked perfectly.
I know Larry happened. Please do not try to convince me otherwise. Please don't talk to me about coffee. I don't drink it. I don't caffeine. When I state my opinion, that is me chiming in on a topic. This is not me saying you suck at life if you do or feel differently. If I want to say that, I will. If I want to speak on you, I will.
I did everything in the recipe. I did sub a few ingredients, though. Brown Vanilla for Clear Light Olive Oil for Grapeseed Oil Lemon Juice for Citric Acid Honey for Corn Syrup. I didn't use acetate to help stack, I just filled in the outside with frosting where there were gaps and trimmed where needed. I was able to make a fourth layer with my scraps. I doubled the frosting, which I would recommend doing even without the extra layer.
I personally found the cake very sweet and would have been rushed to the hospital in diabetic shock had I doubled the icing but TETO. We know @annperkins lives on the wild side.
But, yeah. You definitely need a glass of milk on hand to wash it all down. I am not usually a high sugar person, but I threw that out the window with this cake.
it's funfetti cake with vanilla icing and cake crumbles. The word "gross" seems to be a stretch.
Its not got a shitload of sprinkles inside? The one I googled had like a cascade of sprinkles (like a surprise cake) and the crumbly balls were like dry sugar poofs.
I am known to not like a large amount of sprinkles on things. They melt into the cake, you can't taste them. The crumble is similar to a fruit pie or cobbler crumble. They add a delightful texture and flavor compliment to the cake and frosting.
