Meet Crack Cake: the dessert so dangerously delicious, so impossibly moist, and so packed with flavor that one bite leads to another… and another… until the pan is mysteriously empty. Named for its addictive quality (not its appearance!), this ultra-rich sheet cake blends the ease of a boxed mix with the decadence of bakery-level indulgence. With a secret pudding-sour cream base, melty mix-ins, and a cloud of cream cheese frosting, it’s the kind of dessert that gets requested at every birthday, potluck, and “I just need chocolate” moment.
And yes—it lives up to the hype.
