Blackout Cake
It seems like I’ve been introduced to a lot of new desserts lately. For example, when my friend Bruce came to cover the Olympics, we managed to have him over for dinner and he brought with him (among other goodies) a bag of Pirate oatmeal peanut butter cookies. Never heard of them before – but in a short period of time I’ve realized they are highly addictive and, sadly for my waistline, readily available at Safeway.
Around the same time, my friend Randal gave me a giant bakery made Oreo-style cookie, which he got from Butter Baked Goods on Dunbar Street in Vancouver. It was, in a word, delectable!
Now, being both a Pirate AND Butter Baked Goods cookie addict, it made sense to go visit the bakery. I mean, if you’re a Pirate addict,why not go and try their Peanut Butter Sandwich, advertised as “two big soft peanut butter cookies with a creamy peanut butter filling” right?
Of course, walking into Butter Baked Goods means facing a wall of cake, cookies, loaves, cupcakes and homemade marshmellows. And of course, I walked out with the Peanut Butter Sandwich AND something called a Blackout Cake, for no reason other than it was a Saturday. Let’s see: layers of chocolate cake with pudding in between, covered with cookie crumbles. Again, new discovery (what have I been doing that I miss this kind of thing?)
Anyway, I think I’ve found my new favourite bakery in town. This cake is a must! For everybody!

i hope so, although the bakery is close enough to our house that it’s waaay easier to just buy it!
