Popcorn Cake



Yes, it's made of popcorn, plus M&Ms, pretzel sticks, and marshmallows. Would you try it? Get the recipe at Cookies and Cups. Link -via Everlasting Blort

I thought I had seen the last of that "cake" back in Girl Scouts in the late 70s.
I and other scouts were excited when one of us were talking about the cake that their mom was going to make for the next meeting. Think about the CAKE post from Allie's Hyperbole and a Half.

Were we ever disappointed to discover it was not CAKE. But a giant popcorn ball that was molded in a bunt pan.

THAT IS NOT CAKE!!! That is "cake".

YUMMY!!! Yum yum yummy! All of y'all are too old & lost your sence fun. If it's the shape of a cake and you can slice it (albeit w/a chainsaw) it's a flippin' cake my friends. And I for one want the recipe.

Um, people....popcorn is a VEGETABLE. All hail the popcorn cake!!

Seriously, popcorn and pretzels are not unhealthy snacks, marshmallows are very low in fat, and so this is actually a much "healthier" sweet treat than many cookies or other options. And it's actually a glorified giant popcorn ball in a bundt cake form. Brilliant!

Why is everyone debating whether or not this is actual cake?! Who cares! It's food, it's shaped like a cake, and it looks phenomenal! I would love to try it!

can we all agree that it's better than the popcorn/canned apple/giant candle/corn nuts cake that sandra lee made?

at least this one is prettier.
and nonoffensive.

I definitely wouldn't try it for the sole reason that it had the word "popcorn" before it. If I don't like popcorn on its own, I doubt I'd like it smothered with what looks like toothpaste. D:

(yes, I am aware that it is probably marshmallow. That does NOT make it okay!)

Corn is a grain but I'm pretty sure this isn't as unhealthy as chocolate cake with chocolate icing with chocolate fudge in the middle. Or something else that has about 1000 calories a slice. PHEW! It sounds like a bunt full of fun to me!
