Cookie Monster Birthday Cake

I'm not going to go on about how good this cake is, how white it is or how "unhealthy" it is - because I like it and I could make it for a bunch of birthday occasions. But it's pretty obvious that this isn't my first cake rodeo, I have so many cake recipes up the wazoo on this blog that may hint to deeper, more disturbing things. You see, when I was a chubby little two year old my brother's birthday cake had arrived at the house, which makes sense since it was his birthday (man, I'm like a detective or something - just call me Shinlock!).  It was a white cake with chocolate frosting and all of a sudden I felt something, a primal urge. I was a cavegirl and that cake was just setting off my radar - I had to pounce. I squirmed and squealed in the arms of my sister, only having a few repetitive words in my vocabulary really didn't help me at this time but my intentions were clear. "No! That cake is for your brother!" I imagine my sister said with her french wig and corset and expensive jewelry that was draining the French economy. I'm 100% sure she told us all to eat cake before, but then again I was two -years old.

Unfortunately for them (and later, myself) the matriarch of the family decided to take a nap and that is when I took a chance. I recall seeing a "Cosby Show" episode with Rudy and Cliff stuffing a cake with napkins after eating a slice and thought that I should do the same. Of course...it would have to be taken from the middle because I'm a cake expert and I knew that it would fall. I had just dove into the cake and found that it wasn't worth it. I hated chocolate, yuck! Of course, right underneath the layer of the na-na-na-nasty chocolate there was the delicate and fluffy vanilla cake. That was my prize for being such good girl, besides, being the baby of the family means that I get whatever I want.

As I peered over the cake with about 10 feet of chocolate-covered napkins in my left hand and a chunk full of cake in the middle I heard an "Ooh!" and snapped my head around to see my sister shaking her finger at me...boy was I in trouble. Let's just say that the ending to that story was not a happy one - but I still hate chocolate frosting!

Now, I think we outta get down to this cake recipe. Its just a white cake with white icing with lots of Newman-O's (and a few Ore's as well).
