What do you get when you bake a 20-year-old coffee cake mix?

POOP CAKE!!!

Looks good on the box, right? Yeah, until you find the "mail away for a cookbook" form inside with the offer expiry date of June 30, 1990. I should have realized there that this was probably a bad idea.

But someone has to try it FOR SCIENCE so it's me.


Mmmm... just like Mom used to make! If she put turds on it! That's not caramel sauce, I discover later, those are the cinnamon apples for the topping! Even better!!!


Appetizing, no? It will be in ALL the Starbucks locations next holiday season!


The iPhone camera couldn't focus on it properly. This may be a blessing for you all. Be sure to compare this image with the first image from the box above. Notice how NOT risen it is.


Oh come on, you know you want a bite!!


Don't make that face, it can't be that bad!


Well?

The verdict is... it tastes like someone baked it 20 years ago and left it in the cupboard. I guess that's about all one can hope for from a flat, non-rising cake mix with questionable-looking "apples" as a topping. The brown sugar part of the streusel topping was good though.

Beentsy was right, I shoulda used it as a dog frisbee.

Ummm...wow. You weren't kidding when you tweeted about turds.

I totally remember that packaging; now I feel both queasy and ancient. Thanks, Kelle! ;o)
