I know a few friends that would toss the cake and only eat the icing, the cake is the excuse. It the icing is chocalote bars cream and butter with extra sugar, they will easily spoon it in w/o the bothersome cake!



On my not so distant last birthday my kid took a very chocolatey Trader Joes loaf , split it put in TJ's pudding (very close to my recipe :) then topped it with powder sugar. I liked that and oly suggested , next time slice it as normal and plop some pudding on top at service, like a la mode!



As kids my mom would not make icing, partially as my dad and others would scrape and toss the stuff, partially because it was a waste of very expensive sugar and butter.





But here we need to do more so I suggest.



take a nice vanilla pound cake, slice pieces, but make one thick one thin. Butter the bottom with thicker pudding and maybe a schmear of SEEDLESS raspberry jam, (I hate seeds in jam, put that on first, then pudding), put on the thin slice as topper and use a fondant with cherry or raspberry jello, now you have filled snack cakes.



Another Tasty choice would be nutella and raspberry. If you are a hime baker, not assembler make a cherry or peach or strawberry cake then add appropriate centers, of jam, chocolate, nuts.



Heck how about a snack sized Black Forest cake. To heck with freaking , Cringeees, Twinkies, I mean Twinkie's Bring on the "bricks"



C'mon, ya know you wanna make them!!!!!



my teeth still hurt. I put real sugar in my coffee :-)
