Chicagoland Atomic Cake is best eaten the same day it’s made. Set the banana (or yellow) cake layer on a cake plate. Top with sliced bananas, then spread banana pudding over the top to hold the bananas together. Place the chocolate cake layer on top. Top with sliced strawberries, then spread chocolate pudding over the top.
If you’ve never tried or heard of atomic cake, you’re in for something mind-blowing. Atomic cake is the bomb! This majestic dessert features three different cake layers and pudding flavors, as well as fresh strawberries and bananas.
In the past 10 years or so, an Atomic Cake Deluxe has emerged at bakeries across the South Side, topped with a pour of chocolate and a crown of chocolate-covered strawberries. Plus an Atomic Cup is made seasonally by Orland Park Bakery for the Taste of Orland Park the first weekend in August, then sold at the shop for a limited time afterward.
The Atomic Cake is stacked high with three layers of cake, each a different flavor, and three different fillings. The whole is covered in a whipped topping. Food styling by Mark Graham.
