We can’t really put into words how happy this cake makes us. After all, have you ever seen a cake that doubles as dinner before?! We’ll take it! Made from three layers of cornbread as the “cake”, mashed potatoes as the “frosting”, & fried chicken as the “sprinkles” this “layered cake” is truly one of a kind. Not to mention it’s beyond simple to make. We used boxed cornbread, boxed mashed potatoes, & bought the fried chicken at the store so essentially if you do it our way, you’re just assembling the cake aka it shouldn’t take you long at all!

You know the day after Thanksgiving when you’re half in a food coma, half can’t stop running back to the fridge for leftovers? Well this year, take those leftovers & throw ’em into this cake recipe! Use any turkey, chicken, etc. you have as your toppings, the leftover mashed potatoes (or baked potatoes that you can mash yourself) as the frosting, you can even drizzle some cranberry sauce or gravy as icing on top! Just as long as you have the cornbread base & the potatoes as frosting, you can truly decorate this however you’d like. We used regular pecans around the bottom for an extra oomph but you can use candied ones, walnuts, even green beans if you’re looking to get extra crazy with the leftovers!
