In the early aughts, I used to host raucous girls-night-in parties with gag gifts, commemorative t-shirts, and enough booze to make Ben Affleck blush. We let our hair down, told dirty jokes, and played games until the sun came up. One year, I made a delightfully diabolical dish called Kitty Litter Cake.

Recently, the recipe has resurfaced on TikTok with people making it for Halloween so I thought I’d give it another whirl. The results were just as appalling-yet-appealing as they were back then so I wanted to share the process with my fellow pranksters.

-1 box of white or vanilla cake

1 box of chocolate cake

-6 eggs

-2 packages of instant vanilla pudding
