How Many Scoops Would You Like?
One of my aunts emailed this recipe to me last year and apologized for months afterwards. She needn't have worried. As a cat lover with several litter boxes, I find this kind of feline humor right up my alley.
Brimming with sugary goodness—and festooned with tootsie-roll turds—the kitty litter cake is the cat's meow, and is sure to delight the crazy-cat-lady on your gift list!
Let's Take a Closer Look
Tasty... or in Poor Taste?
Each Scoop is Simply Scrumptious!
The Kitty Litter Cake
A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
Kitty Litter Cake is a confection popular in North America, although cake may be something of a misnomer in this instance, given the overall texture and presentation of the dish; it may instead be a type of cobbler. It was created by Anna Vigliotti of Saint Paul, Minnesota in the early 1990s. Typically, the cake consists of layered box cake-mix batter interspersed with crumbled sugar cookies, topped with Tootsie Rolls that are partially melted so they resemble feline feces, served in a plastic catbox with a new, clean pooper scooper. The quality of a Kitty Litter Cake is dependent on not only flavour but visual similarity to authentic catbox filled with kitty litter and cat feces. Advanced recipes may make use of pudding mix and food colourings to give a more genuine appearance.
Meow
Kitty Litter Cake is an occasional favorite at office parties and during Halloween, although it is considered by some to be juvenile and childish.
