This kid-pleasing confection has a sweet secret: chocolate-marshmallow icing inside. Cereal bits give it a festive trim. Prepare the Basic Crisp-Rice Treats, then follow the molding instructions below to make the cake.

Yield Makes one 8-inch, 2-layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
Crispy Cake Basic Recipe
Chocolate-Marshmallow Frosting
Flower- and ball-shaped cereal pieces

Steps:

  • Coat two 8-by-2-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Prepare crisp-rice mixture; before pouring into pan, reserve 2 tablespoons for patching cake, and set aside, covered. Divide remaining crisp-rice mixture among prepared cake pans. Press into pans with greased fingers to level. Let cool until set, at least 30 minutes.
  • Run a knife around edges of cakes to loosen; unmold onto parchment paper.
  • While frosting is still warm, pour onto center of 1 cake layer, and spread evenly to edges. Let stand 10 minutes. Place second cake layer on top; press down gently. Using reserved pieces of crisp-rice mixture, patch edges where frosting is visible.
  • Decorate with cereal, arranging pieces around top, middle, and bottom edges. Let cake stand until firm enough to slice, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. After 2 hours, wrap cake in plastic wrap to prevent it from getting too hard to slice.

I'm not a big fan of no-bake cakes, but this one was actually pretty good. I would definitely make it again.

I had some trouble finding graham cracker crumbs, but I finally found them at a specialty grocery store. The cake turned out great and it was worth the effort to find the crumbs.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this cake several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so rich and decadent, and the oreo crust is the perfect finishing touch.
