Welcome back food family!
The first time I heard of the atomic cake I was living in Chicago. It consists of two layers of yellow cake. One at the top and bottom then a layer of chocolate cake in the middle. It includes yummy fillings like vanilla pudding, banana, strawberries and cream cheese. Topped with whipped cream. So delicious!
Since I made the cake for Easter 🐣 I decorated it with marshmallow bunnies and chocolate candies. However, you can decorate your Easy No Bake Atomic Cake to match your theme.
I always thought it tasted like a Gansito sweet cake sold at most Latino grocery stores. So, I figured, why not make one but with real Gansitos instead!
This no bake atomic cake is quick and easy to make. No baking skills needed!
Now can we talk about the cake? 🎂... it turned out delicious! 😋 Try it!
