00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.310
- So you want cake but
you suck at decorating.

2
00:00:02.310 --> 00:00:04.470
Keep it casual with a spoon cake.

3
00:00:04.470 --> 00:00:07.530
So, a spoon cake is like the love child

4
00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:11.010
of a trifle and an icebox cake.

5
00:00:11.010 --> 00:00:13.530
It's whip cream and cake layered together

6
00:00:13.530 --> 00:00:15.210
and well, you eat it with a spoon.

7
00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:18.090
No worrying about stacking layers of cake

8
00:00:18.090 --> 00:00:20.190
or frosting the top and the sides.

9
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:22.470
It's easy assembly, easy storage,

10
00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:24.360
easy serving, easy eating.

11
00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:26.250
You can keep it family
friendly with just some

12
00:00:26.250 --> 00:00:29.460
whip cream and cake or you
can make it adult friendly

13
00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:31.650
and add a simply syrup
with some rum in it.

14
00:00:31.650 --> 00:00:33.000
Or any booze you like.

15
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.220
Start with a deep casserole dish.

16
00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:36.660
You're gonna layer in some whip cream

17
00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:37.740
with the back of a spoon.

18
00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:39.210
Once you have that layered in,

19
00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:41.670
you're gonna put a slice of cake.

20
00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:43.140
Now, we rinse and repeat.

21
00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:45.150
So, add another layer of whip cream.

22
00:00:45.150 --> 00:00:47.520
If you have leftover cookies like I do,

23
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.310
you can crumble them into
the whip cream at any point.

24
00:00:50.310 --> 00:00:52.740
Add another layer of cake
and if you're using a syrup,

25
00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:54.510
go ahead and spoon it over top.

26
00:00:54.510 --> 00:00:56.040
Once you're on your final layer,

27
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:58.953
spoon on top some whip
cream and call it a day.

28
00:00:58.953 --> 00:01:02.010
Let this sit in the fridge for four hours.

29
00:01:02.010 --> 00:01:03.420
I know, torture.

30
00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:06.210
But you want the cake to
absorb some of that liquid

31
00:01:06.210 --> 00:01:09.090
so it sets and makes it more
spoonable in the long run.

32
00:01:09.090 --> 00:01:11.580
So, it makes it a great make ahead cake.

33
00:01:11.580 --> 00:01:13.200
Make this maybe the night before,

34
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.090
cover it, put it in the fridge.

35
00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:16.890
And then tomorrow, it's
ready when you are.

36
00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:18.360
