Dirt Cake

A dirt cake is a fairly popular dessert treat.  It’s popular for kids’ parties.  The cake looks a lot like dirt.  Eating dirt is kind of funny.

People should worry when their kids eat dirt instead of just dirt cake.  It could be a sign that the child is retarded.  It can be dangerous too.  Animal feces in the dirt might attract parasites.  Lead poisoning can also come from eating dirt.  Sometimes children ingest small amounts of dirt.  But for others it’s an obsession.  Anemia can cause this behavior.  Anemia is blood with too little iron.  In such a case a vitamin or supplement that contains iron will help the child kick the habit.

Dirt cake isn’t really cake.  It’s made with layers of cookie crumbs and pudding.  It can be served in a flower pot.  Many times it’s dished out with a shovel to add to the novelty.  Add candy flowers for a real flower pot feel.

Many recipes for dirt cake can be found online.  Perform a Google search.  Over 420,000 sites result.  Many of the recipes contain the same ingredients.

Dirt cake is prepared by crushing sandwich cookies, such as Oreos.  These are layered with pudding and whipped topping.  Add the last layer of cookies just before eating it.  Overall it’s a very clever desert. 

Any dieter will be cheating if they eat dirt cake.  Almost every ingredient is fattening.  Every serving is loaded with calories – 900 or more.  Dieters know that’s a no no. 

But healthy eating doesn’t preclude dirt cake.  It’s all about moderation.  Eat a very small piece.  Or save it for the day you get a little treat.  Diets depend on general habits.  Everyone needs a little something special once in awhile.
