Recipe: 00294 Title : Kitty Litter Cake Author: Linda Magee Date : August 1995 _________________________________________________________________________ This cake is a RIOT. One gal made it and left it on her kitchen table. Well, her hubby came in and thought it WAS the cat box and pitched it in the trash! He came unglued, asking her why she'd done that. His wife was furious. :) My mom made it for her bowling league friends; they sneaked up on it, not sure weather or not to eat it. Once they tasted it they came back for seconds. I've made it with both, chocolate and the spice cake--tastes better and looks more authentic if you use the chocolate cake. 1 box GERMAN CHOCOLATE or SPICE CAKE (I use German Chocolate) 1 box WHITE CAKE MIX 1 pkg WHITE SANDWICH COOKIES (any brand) 1 large pkg INSTANT VANILLA PUDDING MIX GREEN FOOD COLORING 12 small TOOTSIE ROLLS 1 NEW KITTY LITTER BOX 1 NEW KITTY LITTER BOX LINER 1 NEW POOPER SCOOPER ------------------------------------------------------------ Prepare cake mixes per package directions. Bake them in any size pan you like (you'll break them up into pieces later, so it doesn't matter). Prepare pudding and chill. You may or may not need/want all the pudding; use the leftovers to eat later on. Pulse cookies in small batches in a blender, scraping the sides often. Remove from the blender and divide. To 1 cup of the cookie crumbs, add a few drops of green food coloring (it's suppose to look like the chlorophyll in the Kitty Litter). Mix with a fork or shake in a jar to mix. Set aside. When cakes are at room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with half of the remaining (uncolored) cookie crumbs and enough of the pudding to make the mixture feel moist, but not soggy. Place a liner in the box and pour in mixture. Unwrap 3 Tootsie rolls and heat in a microwave until soft and pliable. Shape blunt ends into slightly curved points (use your imagination). Repeat with three more rolls. Bury the rolls decoratively in the cake mixture, sticking out of the cake mixture at random intervals. Sprinkle the remaining white cookie crumbs over mixture, then scatter green crumbs lightly over top. Heat the 6 of the Tootsie Rolls, three at a time (* see below) in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with crumbs from box. * This is my idea; I save one of the Tootsie Rolls, lightly roll it in a mixture of the white and green cookie crumbs, then hang it over the side of the pan. I KNOW, I'm gross! :) Place box on a couple of sheets of newspaper and serve with the scooper! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _________________________________________________________________________
