What cracks me up is that she never even asked for a sweet, dessert-y cake.
The idea came about one day when we were fantasizing about our favorite foods (butter, bacon & scrapple) & talking about in what extravagant ways (& quantities) we would eat them. Somehow birthdays kind of meshed in with the favorite foods & the scrapple cake was born.
It was really delicious! I was afraid that the inside would be really super mushy, but it turned out perfectly. Once it was in the oven, I had no idea how long it would take to cook to our liking, so I just kept poking the center of it. When i finally took it out, it was still a little mushy in the center, but once it stood for a little while, it firmed up beautifully.
The edges, top & bottom had a lovely, crisp crust while the center was still somewhat soft ~ just the way we like our scrapple. I suppose the drizzle of maple syrup made it somewhat dessert-y.
I have just enough scrapple left to make the same cake for Dd1 in less than 3 weeks & for Ds in March.
I was actually thinking of attempting to make some kind of scrapple-upside-down cake, but I can't think of anything to put on the bottom...
looks good!
