Is It Really Better Than Sex? Cake
- Is It Really Better Than Sex? Cake
Is It Really Better Than Sex? Cake is a cake consisting of yellow cake mix, a moist pineapple center, and whip cream covering the exterior. It is very similar to an upside-down cake. This cake is a common dessert cake used at weddings and other parties; serving as no surprise, this cake's title often brings laughter. The suprisingly moist center, created through inserting a fork into the cake several times and filling the holes with a pineapple and sugar mixture, tends to shock people. Traditionally, it is baked using a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan. The cake is intended to be eaten cold, after refrigeration.
History
Is It Really Better Than Sex? Cake has unknown origins, but Paula Deen has brought the cake to light in her famous series, "Paula's Home Cooking". The cake has been thought to have been passed throughout the country by food editors, slowly developing into what it is now.
Flavors
Flavors consisting of pineapple, chocolate, banana, and even healthy versions of the cake exist. Though many variations of the cake exist, Paula's version seems to remain the most well known. Her basic recipe consists of yellow cake mix, crushed pinapples, sugar, french vanilla pudding, whipped cream, toasted coconut, and often other ingredients that vary from cook to cook. With such an incredibly easy recipe and relatively low cook time, this cake is well worth the little effort required to cook it. Despite of it's humorous name, this cake has truly brought people to ask the question in which the name consists.
