Overview: How To Make Kitty Litter Cake?
Looking for a fun and slightly gross Halloween treat? Learn how to make a kitty litter cake that will both shock and delight your guests. This quirky take on traditional dirt cakes is sure to be a hit at any party or gathering!
To start, prepare chocolate and vanilla cake mixes according to the package instructions and allow them to cool completely. Meanwhile, whip up some vanilla instant pudding and chill it in the refrigerator.
Next, crumble some golden Oreos in a food processor, reserving a portion for later. Tint the remaining crumbs with a drop of green food coloring to give them that authentic “litter” look.
Once the cakes are cooled, crumble them into a clean kitty litter tray, alternating layers with the chilled pudding and plain cookie crumbs. If the cake seems dry, you can add more pudding for extra moisture.
Now for the fun part – shaping the “poop”! Soften some Tootsie Rolls in the microwave, then stretch and shape them before arranging them randomly on top of the cake. Sprinkle the remaining plain and green cookie crumbs over the cake to complete the look.
Finish off by heating a few more Tootsie Rolls, shaping them, and placing them on top of the cake. Don’t forget to drape one down the side of the tray for an extra realistic touch.
Serve your kitty litter cake with a clean pooper scooper for a truly unforgettable dessert experience!

Nutrition
Time for The Tips!
- Get creative with pudding flavors! While vanilla pudding works great, you can switch things up by using cheesecake pudding for a different twist. For those looking to amp up the “gross factor,” pistachio pudding can add an extra level of visual interest.
- Don’t stress about the baking pans. Since the cakes will be crumbled anyway, it doesn’t matter what you bake them in. Use whatever you have on hand or prefer.
- Don’t worry about the cake falling through the scoop. The cake mixture will be thick enough to hold its shape, ensuring that it won’t slip through the holes of the pooper scooper. So scoop away without any concerns!
What to Serve with Kitty Litter Cake?
Possible Variations!
- Dirt Cake:
- Swap out the traditional ingredients for a “dirt cake” theme! Try using chocolate cake, crushed Oreos, Cool Whip, and Gummi Worms for a deliciously muddy treat. It’s a fun spin that’s perfect for any outdoor-themed party!
- Unicorn Poop:
- Transform your cake into a magical delight with a “unicorn poop” twist! Use confetti cake mix, rainbow sprinkles, vanilla pudding, and Tootsie Fruit Chews to create a whimsical and colorful masterpiece. It’s sure to spark joy and wonder, especially among the little ones!
Storing and Managing Leftover!
Storing:
- Pop any leftovers in the fridge and cover them with plastic wrap. They’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days.
Freezing:
- While I can’t vouch for how freezer-friendly a litter box is, you can freeze the cake itself in a separate airtight container for up to 3 months. Just remember to thaw it in the fridge overnight before you plan to serve it.
