I am one of those weird people who doesn’t really like cake. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’ll eat a cupcake with the best of them. But if we’re being honest here, 99% of the reason I’m eating it is for the frosting. And 99% of the reason I love to make cakes and cupcakes is to eat the cake batter.

Seriously, I have a thing about batter and cookie dough. It’s so delicious. So when I saw this recipe on Cookies and Cups for Brownie Batter Bark, I was all in. I mean, brownie mix, butter, and chocolate?

Um, ok!

But then I was thinking… I bet I could make this with cake mix instead, and I bet it would be amazing.

So I tried.

And I was right.

Cake Batter Bark = totally amazing. When I asked my trusty taste-testers to help me out {being the child of a blogger is such hard work…}, Connor actually pretended to faint because it was “the most delicious thing ever.” {He may be slightly prone to drama.}

And, like everything else I make, it’s crazy easy.

The bark is simply made of a layer of cake batter sandwiched between thin layers of milk and white chocolate. Obviously, I had to put sprinkles on the top, because what’s a cake without sprinkles? A no-fun cake, that’s what.

This would be such a fun treat for birthday parties {or, like, a Tuesday or something}, and it’s way easier than a cake, cupcakes or cake pops.

You tell me: Are you more of a batter/dough person, or do you prefer the baked version?
