Thanksgiving Turkey Cake
This gem from mental_floss goes right up there with Turducken or TurBacon Epic Thanksgiving, but in cake form. I would totally make this for Friendsgiving, or any Turkeyday celebration where you will find that one guy who can’t let food go to waste.
This cake comes together as follows: The first is a sort of turkey loaf, topped with a mashed potato filling and a quick spread of cranberry sauce. The next layer is made of stuffing shoved on top of the cranberry sauce, which is then covered with another layer of potatoes. Another layer of turkey loaf is then added and then the cake is baked for about a half an hour before the mashed potato frosting is applied, topped with a coating of sweet potatoes followed by marshmallows.
I would try it, would you?
