I was looking for something fun for desert this week end and found this cake.
It was very easy to make.
Can't wait till dinner time.
Yellow Cake Layer
1 (18.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix
3 egg whites
1 egg
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/3 cups water
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons skim milk
Brownie Layer
1 (18.25-ounce) package brownie mix
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
Fillings/Toppings (I used a prepared frosting instead)
1 envelope whipped topping mix
1/2 cup cold milk
1 teaspoon yellow food coloring
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
4 kiwis, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Prepare the Yellow Cake Layer:
Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, egg whites, egg, oil and water until well mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans. (You'll need only one yellow layer for this recipe-save the remaining batter for another use like cup cakes). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched. Cool the layers in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn onto wire racks to cool.
Brownie Layer:
Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.In a large mixing bowl, beat together the brownie mix, oil, water, and eggs until well mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before using.
To Assemble:
When the cake has cooled, split the layer in half into two 9-inch rounds with a long, serrated knife. Place bottom half on serving plate.
In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and enough milk to form a spreading consistency. Spread half of the mixture on top of the yellow cake layer.
Top with the cooled Brownie Layer.
In mixing bowl, beat together the whipped topping mix, cold milk, and yellow food coloring until topping is very thick and forms a peak.
Spread the remaining half of the confectioners' sugar mixture on top of the brownie layer to help the next layer of fruit stay in place.
Cover with sliced strawberries and kiwis. Top with whipped topping mixture, making sure that the fruit is showing on all sides.
Carefully place the remaining half of the yellow cake layer on top of the fruit and whipped topping.
Sprinkle with poppy seeds and refrigerate until ready to serve. |

That looks yummy. I am going to try it this week. Thanks for the info.  |
Beautiful job on that cake, Angel. It looks great! That would be a fun dessert to make for a Jimmy Buffett party - you know, the whole Cheeseburger in Paradise thing.
Thanks for the recipe!

Ha ha!! Yup it sure is.
But this kind is very yummy. |
Oh! That is soooo cute! Laurie! We're going to your house for the Buffet party  ... hee heee. |
So Deborah, did you have a cheeseburger for me in Key West?  Angelo and I used to have Jimmy Buffett parties in February for our old neighborhood, because everyone could get "happy" and no one had to drive home. We rented a frozen margarita machine (Libertyville Rental on Rte 137), and decorated with inflatable palm trees, and all kinds of fun stuff. At our last party, 84 people showed up! And I think 82 people got hammered!  (Oddly enough, Angelo and I don't really drink.  )

| I WANT THAT CAKE!!!!!! |
That looks awesome!!! What a cool idea!  |
Hold the fries! That's one special cake!
Please keep the Drive- thru at the Yager's open, we are on
our way!
Thanks for the recipe  Yummy ! |
| I agree. Looks awesome! I'm sure if I made it, it would look really messy and the "mayo" and other fillings would be oozing out. |

If I can make it, anyone can! I am not the greatest baker or cake decorator.
It was really easy.
It is funny though, you know how when you bite into a burger, it oozes out the other side? That's what happened when I cut it. Was so burger like.
My neices husband, who usually forgoes desert, had two helpings!! He couldn't turn down desert that was a burger to boot. |
| oh that is so cool! I think I am going to attempt this for my boyfriends birthday next month... I'll post pictures when I'm done |
Burger cake is making rounds around Albuquerque! I took one to an event which has spurred on other people to make the cakes. I'm making a Green Chile Cheeseburger by omitting the strawberries and using orange frosting. Not as visually dynamic as the burger cake , bit GCC's are a staple here.
Thanks again for the idea! Of course we've already modified the recipe with walnut liqueur, etc, LOL! But then that's cooking. |
