Secret Recipes

Here’s a copy of one of the most popular east coast snack that could deceive even Rosie O’Donnel, who is known for confessing her undying love for this lovely Drake’s treat on her talk show. But, no one can blame her. After all, no one can resist this delightful snack with its fluffy and smooth filling packed in between two delicious cake fingers. For this copied recipe, the cakes are made from scratch. By making the cakes from scratch, it would be a lot easier to recreate the same texture and flavor like the original version. However, don’t be surprised if the color of the cakes will be a lot lighter than the original due to the food coloring. If you don’t feel like making the cakes on your own, you may also choose to use devil’s food cake mix instead of using the cake recipe provided here. If you choose to use a cake mix instead, be sure to follow the procedure for making the fillings then stack the cakes at the same way.
