Summary: /* Cherpumple Pie Cake */
[[Image:Cherpumple.jpg|thumb|630px|left|Cherpumple creator Charles Phoenix]]
Quite possibly one of the unholiest culinary creations ever to ride into town on the dessert cart, the [http://www.charlesphoenix.com/2010/10/cherpumple-monster-pie-cake-new-test-kitchen-video/ Cherpumple] is a six-layer threat of sickening proportions.
It's a triple layer cake with a pie baked into each layer. To make the bottom layer, you bake an entire apple pie inside a spice cake. The middle layer is a pumpkin pie baked inside a yellow cake. Top it off with a cherry pie baked inside of a white cake. Once finished and frosted, it's a foot tall and packs an astronomical number of calories per slice. Diabetics and health-food devotees will run screaming.
The madman responsible for this beast is author and funnyman [http://www.charlesphoenix.com/ Charles Phoenix]. The self-described Ambassador of Americana calls his monster cake/pie hybrid "the turducken of desserts." He says he whipped it up as a matter of convenience -- instead of having to sample several different pies and cakes after a holiday celebration, why not just bake them all together? His sick vision is your sweet tooth's wildest dream come true.
'''Tip:''' For the best results, use pre-baked pies or frozen pies. Also, use boxed cake mix. This is primarily for rigidity: while cakes and pies made from scratch are delicious, they tend to be delicate. The pre-fab stuff is unnaturally sturdy. Also, if you make everything from scratch, you have to mix and bake six full desserts before you can assemble the Cherpumple. That's an all-day affair. Preserve your sanity by going frozen, boxed or pre-made.
