Day 4- Let them eat cake!

Alright, folks. Dinner tonight- boiled crabs and crawfish!! None for you, sadly. It's in honor of my beloved sister's birthday. She and her betrothed are coming into town this afternoon for a long weekend. Therefore, the updates for the next few days might be a little out of the ordinary, but I promise to keep you...wait for it...posted. Hahahaha, get it?? Puns.

Anyway, so tonight's update is coming to you bright and early and extra special. See, we're also having my Emaw's Famous Dobauche Cake tonight- well, really, this afternoon since Emaw's "night" is more like 4 or 5 PM. Regardless, cake will be had by all! So here it is, just don't tell Emaw I told you.

Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare a box of standard yellow cake mix. Emaw likes a specific brand and type but I can't give away all of her secrets, right?? Now, take a round cake pan and butter or spray it, then lightly dust it with flour (put a small handful of flour in it and shake it all around) now do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around. Pour some of the cake batter into the pan...like just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Be sure to wobble it around and tap the bottom of the pan on the counter to get rid of air bubbles and to try and get it as even as possible. If your cake comes out uneven, like Emaw, you must throw it away. Or like me, you must eat it immediately and then just tell people you threw it away. If you have a second round pan, do the same in it, otherwise this whole thing takes twice as long. Bake the cakes- only about 10 minutes and then check them often since they are so thin and would over-cook easily. When they are done, let them cool a bit and then gently...GENTLY...dump the first one onto a big plate. Mix up a batch of chocolate pudding. Spread some chocolate pudding on it in a thin layer- again, Emaw prefers a specific brand but you have to figure that one out yourselves! Then put on the next layer. Keep making thin cake layers and chocolate pudding inbetween until you have a nice tall, super yummy cake. Then ice the top and the sides with chocolate frosting. For even Emawier results, carve a message on the top of the cake's icing with a butter knife like "Happy Birthday, Frankenstein!" or "Sorry I hit you with my car, Doug!" Whatever is appropriate. Refridgerate for even yummier results. This cake is best eaten with a giant glass of super cold milk. I especially like it for breakfast, because I am a champion. Get it? I am on a roll here!
