I just found that recipe and I haven´t never try kind of cake. Maybe at the some day...
Popcorn cake
It is amazing how homesickness manifests itself by reaching out for certain foods; both my daughter and I have our popcorn cravings and she also managed to single out the best Lebanese brand for peanut butter. She was doubtful first when I told her of my idea; after all, popcorn is supposed to be a salty snack. I pointed out that the French eat it sweetened. In any case, this experiment was easy and the taste was approved. It is a handy snack to take to college or work (just make it when it is not too hot or humid outside!) There are 2 ways to make this: One is like rice crispies bars, by melting marshmallows and some butter; the super-easy way is to use jarred butterscotch topping, briefly heated, to glue all these popcorns together and shape into a cake. The more elaborate way is to make a caramel with melted powdered sugar and cream. Leave me a message is you’d like a recipe.
INGREDIENTS: 8 servings
2. Place in the fridge for about one hour (or longer); to unmold onto a platter, dislodge using a spatula and flip it over and tap on it. It should come out easily.
NOTE: I have made this cake with melted butterscotch topping; melt in the microwave about 1 cup of topping for about 20 seconds.
NOTE: The image on top is for the cake made with butterscotch topping; the one below is made with marshmallow cream.
