The Cake is not a lie.

My boyfriend and I are big videogamers, and as soon as Portal 2 came out, I decided to make him the cake from the first game for his bithday.

Excuse the crap quality, my batteries died and I had to take pics with my cellphone.


I didn't have much time to make it, so I used two Devil's Food Cake boxed mixes, Betty Crocker classic chocolate frosting, and I made some wipped cream to put in between layers and on top. I also separated the cookies and fillings of oreo cookies, smashed the cookies and covered the frosted cake to give it texture.

Sadly, the weather here is still too hot for anything to stay put, so I had to put the cake in the fridge at random intervals so it wouldn't fall over or melt before my boyfriend came to pick me up.

The reult was a delicious, moist cake. VERY heavy (5 kg), very chocolaty, but not too sweet.
Simply great.

Will do it again some time, when it's not so hot outside.
