Dirt Cake: Happy Earth Day 2013! #Foodie Friday

Dirt Cake

Happy Earth Day! You can't have a celebration without a cake, right? 

When my son was about 3 years old and I would say to him we are going to go to a party. He would reply, "Will there be cake? No, cake...no go!"

I couldn't really argue with him... I would say most of us in our hearts would agree.

Well, here is my version of a dirt cake. It is almost as much fun to make as it is to eat.
