Zebra Cake

 Our 4 year old had a birthday party recently.  He requested a "zebra cake".  My version is different from others I've seen, so I thought I'd share it.

Here are the ingredients and instructions:

-3 packages Chocolate Goya Maria cookies

-2 boxes Chocolate pudding mix, plus milk to make into pudding

-1 1/2 tubs whipped topping 

 

-Combine pudding mixes and milk to make pudding.  

-In a 9x13in. pan, layer pudding, cookies, whipped topping, cookies, pudding, cookies, whipped topping, cookies, and end with pudding.

-Leave in refrigerator overnight.  The cookies will soak up moisture from the whipped topping and pudding, giving the cookies a cake like texture.

-Before serving, top with another layer of whipped topping.

 -You can then decorate it just like any other cake.  So the toy cars wouldn't be covered in whipped topping, I placed pieces of wax paper on the cake.  I've done the wax paper thing for all types of frostings.  This way, you can use almost any decorative item or toy as a cake topper without getting it messy.

-Here's what the cake looks like.  You can tell there are layers, but mostly it just all blends together.  Very tasty!
