Cherpumple
A dessert combining pie and cake
The Cherpumple is a multi-layered dessert that combines three different types of pies baked within three different flavors of cake. This unique dessert is a modern culinary creation that has gained popularity for its novelty and indulgence.
Origin and Concept[edit | edit source]
The Cherpumple was invented by humorist Charles Phoenix in 2009. The name "Cherpumple" is a portmanteau of the three types of pies traditionally used in the dessert: cherry, pumpkin, and apple. Each pie is baked into a separate layer of cake, typically using white, yellow, and spice cake mixes, respectively.
The concept of the Cherpumple is inspired by the Turducken, a dish where a chicken is stuffed into a duck, which is then stuffed into a turkey. Similarly, the Cherpumple layers different desserts into one extravagant creation.
Construction[edit | edit source]
The construction of a Cherpumple involves baking each pie separately and then embedding each one into a layer of cake batter. The process is as follows:
- Cherry Pie in White Cake: A cherry pie is placed into a pan filled with white cake batter and baked until the cake is set.
- Pumpkin Pie in Yellow Cake: A pumpkin pie is similarly embedded in yellow cake batter and baked.
- Apple Pie in Spice Cake: Finally, an apple pie is placed in spice cake batter and baked.
Once all three layers are baked and cooled, they are stacked on top of each other, typically with a layer of cream cheese frosting between each to add stability and flavor.
Serving[edit | edit source]
The Cherpumple is served by slicing through all the layers, revealing the distinct pies and cakes in each slice. It is often served at festive occasions and is known for its impressive appearance and rich taste.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the traditional Cherpumple uses cherry, pumpkin, and apple pies, variations can include different types of pies and cakes based on personal preference. Some popular alternatives include:
- Pecan Pie in Chocolate Cake
- Blueberry Pie in Lemon Cake
- Peach Pie in Vanilla Cake
These variations allow for creativity and customization, making the Cherpumple a versatile dessert option.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
The Cherpumple has become a symbol of culinary excess and creativity. It has been featured in various media outlets and has inspired home bakers to experiment with their own versions. Its popularity highlights the trend of combining multiple desserts into a single, extravagant dish.
