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. 😉

This cake is so over the top, and I LOVE it! How do you come up with this stuff, Amanda?!? The oreo cookie crumb is INCREDIBLE!
Wow this looks crazy good. I am always in awe of the scrumptious and delicious creations you come up with :o) there is now such thing as a too heavy or too decadent cake.
Oh my word!!! Your family / friends are very lucky!
I love calorie heavy, please keep blogging as much calories as you can
Over the top? That is pure nonsense. This looks absolutely perfect (and incredible) to me.
OMG! How did I miss this!?? seriously cool. I am kind of on an oreo cookie kick anyways….
Amanda, I just adore your blog, you are so talented.
This cake is gorgeous and has my favorite combination, chocolate and cherries, can’t go wrong! Please post a tutorial!
Don’t let the calorie critic get to you, whoever he/she is, would probably kill to sink their teeth into that cake. If you haven’t seen it, watch the movie “Chocolat”, it will definitely cheer you up!
I think someone is just JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! And I’m glad you didn’t take that small comment personal!! Besides…all the rest of us love seeing all your goodies!!!
And this cake is seriously one that my husband would DEVOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s like a surprise in surprise!! LOL
OK, you have to post the tutorial. OMGosh, I may never have more than two bites but it is beautiful just to look at. Have to give it a try.
Thanks for posting this. Hey who cares if it is Calorie Heavy, you are not forcing anyone to eat this or anything else. Keep up the great work!
