We're going to a birthday party for my best friend's 5-year-old daughter this weekend, and it got me thinking. The weird thing is, it got me thinking, "How can I make a tractor shaped birthday cake?" Why? Because my son's third birthday is next month, and he is VERY into trucks and tractors and such these days. I even bought truck invitations and plates for his party. Well, I'm not sure I'm talented enough in the art arena to make a tractor cake, and I've never seen children's birthday cake pans in the shape of a tractor, so that's out. He seems to like Blues Clues a lot too, so the thought of making a Blues Clues birthday cake does hold some appeal. There are lots of cake pans for that.
Then again, if I can just make a recipe for best ever birthday cake, like this Betty Crocker Oreo Cookie Cake, it probably won't matter that much what shape it is. As long as there's frosting on it and ice cream to go with it, I don't think anyone will care! Here's the recipe:
Betty Crocker Oreo Cookie Cake
Description
Whether it's your birthday or not, if you're a chocolate lovers, you'll love this cake! This decadent dessert combines the best of both worlds - Betty Crocker recipes and Oreo cookie cake recipes. The moistness of the cake and the crunch of the cookies complement one another nicely, and who can resist frosting?
Ingredients
1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist chocolate cake mix 3 eggs 1 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 cup coarsely chopped Oreo cookies (about 12) 1 tub vanilla frosting or desired frosting
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 350F degrees.
2. Grease and flour 2 cake pans.
3. Beat cake mix, eggs, water and margarine on low for 30 seconds; then beat on medium for 2 minutes.
4. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the Oreos cookies for icing, and fold the balance of them into the cake batter with a spoon.
5. Bake 30-35 minutes at 350F degrees.
6. Cool 10 minutes in pans.
7. Remove from pans and cool completely before icing.
8. Crush the 2 tablespoons of reserved Oreo cookies very fine and mix into the frosting; frost cake.
After I started my search for a variety of cake recipes, I started realizing that there really are a ton of them to choose from. In fact, I could probably bake a different cake every week for a year and not duplicate them. Here are just a few tasty-sounding cake recipes that I'm going to have to try (although not every week!):
Irish Cream Bundt Cake Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting (Almost) Perfection Pound Cake Amazing Yellow Cake & Fluffy Frosting
