*See the tutorial on how to make this cake right HERE!

I recently read a review of my blog that consisted of two words.
Calorie Heavy.
I was bit a taken aback by this short and decisive description. But, I decided to to not feel embarrassed or disappointed in the single minded perspective.
Know why? It’s SO true. I blog about baking. And 99% of the time, its cakes and cookies. That have lots of calories.
My blog is Calorie Heavy.
As am I.
Just sayin.
That being said, sharing this next calorie heavy cake with you is a great treat for me. Its probably the most fattening cake I have ever made.
Scratch that… I have made lots of cakes. Its just really yummy.
This quiet little unassuming cake packs a big punch.
It is a Oreo crumb covered, hot fudge dipped, chocolate covered cherry packed delicious white cake.
With a cherry on top.
Although I could not adore the oreo cookie crumb coating more… I have to tell you.
Its the amazingly sweet inside that I love.
Chocolate covered cherries.
Encased in a bed a sweet vanilla frosting.
Surrounded by a rich white cake.
Under a coat of hot fudge. Topped with oreo crumbs.
Now… I made this cake a week ago. But have been to scared to share it! I mean. Its a bit over the top.
I was going to offer a tutorial right away but it occurred to me… people probably dont want to make a cake that should really be served by the fork bite instead of by the plate.
Its just too much! My insane idea to make this cake must have been based on some weird pregnancy hormone.
I think.
Just for the record… next time I make this I am going to add more oreo. 😉

Did you like this post? If you did wanna click “Stumble It!” (right below these words) and share the love! Thanks so much!
OMW – this looks completely decadent and delicious.
right up my alley.
Calories and all 🙂
Oh.my.goodness. Can you say heaven?? You MUST post the tutorial!!! Oh, and one of the reasons I love your blog so much?? It IS calorie heavy! Keep the cakes and cookies a coming!!
Yum! How do you come up with these ideas? Oh yes, the babies! What we “endure” eating (craving) to get these little ones safely into the world! :). Glad the calorie critique didn’t get you down!
Yum! The oreo crumb shell means it has the best of both a Carvel ice cream cake and a traditional cake.
Oh my goodness… this is to good to be true! And don’t worry… a few of my recipes have been linked on the “This Is Why You’re Fat” website. Is that a compliment? Hahaha!
That looks so amazingly YUMMY! I bet it would be good with crushed oreos in the frosting layer seperating the cake layers too. I wish I could try this one… but its totally not on my diet. Stupid diet…
This looks amazing. I would love the tutorial. Calorie heavy food isn’t inherently bad. There is absolutly nothing wrong with enjoying calorie heavy food. What IS a problem (as with just about anything) is when you have too much of a good thing. Your blog is about baking – this is the good stuff that we expect. Keep it coming. We’ll figure out the balance 🙂
oh! I love Oreo..and really hope to get this on my birthday!! and I love your blog too..sometimes i’m so jealous that you can bake lots of delicious ‘calorie heavy food’ :p i loved yummy cookies and cakes!!XD
Umm…it’s freakin’ dessert! Of COURSE it’s calorie heavy! I’m SO sick of the recipes that try to be “healthy.” If I want dessert, I am NOT going to choose something “light”…b’cause no matter WHAT they say…it doesn’t taste as good. I have to sift through all the online recipes, and it’s surprisingly difficult to find a good recipe that hasn’t been defiled by healthy substitutions. Bake on, woman!
I don’t think its the pregnant lady hormones in me….. but I REALLY want to eat that cake!
