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. 😉

You are a cake muse, Amanda. I love coming here to see all your beautiful creations. Just one more spectacular cake for me to ogle. *deep sigh*
you made this for my birthday right Amanda? lol you have my address for delivery in March! {wink}
“Calorie Heavy” is the precise reason why I love your blog and this delicious Oreo cake.
Gorgeous cake
This looks fabulous – like a modern day black forest gâteau. We’re genetically programmed to search out high calorie food (a survival instinct from caveman days) so really, your blog is a testament to the human condition 😀
love the look of this cake & cannot wait to bake…& YES to TUTORIAL…please!
one does not have to bake & eat “calorie heavy” desserts if they do not want to…there are choices…but… when i bake i like to treat myself & others to your wonderful recipes & we are all just fine with that!
I LOVE it! I made a chocolate and ice cream cake similar to this but instead the Cholate covered cherries were sandwiched into two 9inch rounds of vanilla ice cream, the cake was then covered in hot fudge and covered in crushed oreo.:O)
come to think of it I was preggy when I made that cake too. hmmmmm pregnancy hormones breed genius ideas
I see you have 98 comments but i HAVE to add in one more! My daughter’s 17th birthday is next weekend. She adores oreo cookies as well as chocolate covered cherries. I would love to see the tutorial on how to make this cake. If I am feeling really brave, I just might give it a try. I cannot wait to see what else you have baked.
If that’s the pregnancy talking, I must be pregnant.
