Kitty Litter Cake Recipe

This funny cake was shared on our forum by Mitzi. It's made to look like a kitty litter tray, tootsie rolls and all!

Ingredients:

  • 1 German Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1 White Cake Mix
  • 1 package White Sandwich Cookies
  • 1 Large package Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
  • Green food coloring
  • 12 Small Tootsie Rolls
  • 1 *NEW* kitty litter box
  • 1 *NEW* kitty litter box plastic liner
  • 1 *NEW* pooper scooper

Preparation:

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble.

Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, they tend to stick, so scrape often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup.

To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar.

When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, mix with the cake and "feel" it, you don't want it soggy, just moist; gently combine.

Line new, clean kitty litter box. Put mixture into litter box.

Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.

Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, 3 at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Now spread 5 of the remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box; sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs.

Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around. Serve kitty litter cake with a *new* pooper scooper.

Practically funny!January 17, 2009By Amberley1984
"I actually made this dessert a long time ago with another recipe that I had found on the internet. It was very good yet practically funny! When I put this out on the table everyone looked at me as if I had lost it. No one could tell from the distance that they were at that this was not really the litter box (we had 2 cats) my boyfriend asked me why I had the litter box on the table with our dinner as well. I simply replied because I thought we would have something new and exciting for dessert. As he walked over to me to ask me if I was alright I picked up the scooper, stuck it into the dessert and took a heaping bite, he almost fell right over. I was having so much fun with this, the look on his face was ever so priceless. Then I took a bite of what was to be the cat mess and he had to grab the scooper away from me. I then looked at him and just told him it was dessert. He said for sure he was going to have to call the mental hospital on me. But it sure was funny."
