If a simple slice of pie or cake just isn't complicated enough after you've gourged on the chicken-in-a-duck-in-a-turkey poulty Voltron known as turducken, then here's a dessert for you. Meet Pummple Cake, which combines two kinds of fruit pies (apple and pumpkin) with two kinds of cake (vanilla and chocolate) into one divine mess -- and at only 1,800 calories a slice.
From MSNBC:
The Flying Monkey, located in Philadelphia's famous Reading Terminal Market, bakes this dessert-lover's fantasy from scratch over the course of two days. It starts with the pies, which it par-bakes. The half-cooked pumpkin pie is dipped into chocolate cake batter and baked. The apple pie and vanilla cake get the same treatment and are baked on top of the chocolate cake. Its massive size means that it spends hours in the oven. Homemade buttercream is then -- literally -- the icing on the entire cake.
Flying Monkey sells slices -- intended to feed four -- for $8. A full Pummple Cake requires 72 hours advance notice and will run you $75.
Watch what happens when Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb -- who thinks 1,800 calories is "a day and a half's worth of food" -- come face to face with the creation:
