Quick show of hands. Who knows what a blackout cake is? <\/p>\n

Okay. Now how many NON-New Yorkers know what a blackout cake is? As a tried and true Midwesterner, I\u2019d heard the name, but that was about it. Before researching, I assumed that it derived its moniker from being extremely chocolatey; and while it is, in fact, quite chocolatey indeed, the \u201cBrooklyn\u201d Blackout Cake, as it is also known, received its name during WW2 when, per a Politico article, \u201cblackout drills were performed in homes around the borough to avoid silhouetting battleships leaving from the Brooklyn Navy Yard.\u201d Ebinger\u2019s, a beloved Brooklyn bakery chain, applied the name to a popular cake of its design, a multi-layer chocolate affair with pudding between the layers and chocolate cake crumbs on its exterior.<\/p>\n

Although Ebinger\u2019s closed shop decades ago, the cake is still made by cake makers worldwide. But if you\u2019re not near a bakery \u2014 or you don\u2019t want to buy a whole cake, or your preferred bakery doesn\u2019t MAKE a blackout cake \u2014 you\u2019re in luck. Because, like most other desserts and dessert-adjacent products, it\u2019s an Oreo now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But, okay \u2014 how does \u201cpudding\u201d translate into an Oreo creme filling? Well, quite honestly, it doesn\u2019t. Pudding is much more of a texture thing, right? And Oreo creme is Oreo creme. Oh sure, sometimes it has little crunchy bits, but the creme can\u2019t go more gelatinous or pudding-esque. So instead of anything evoking an essence of pudding, you\u2019ve got two fairly indiscernible chocolate cremes \u2014 one a bit dark (the devil\u2019s food component? They call it \u201cdark chocolate\u201d on the website) \u2014 and the other a bit light. They both taste like run-of-the-mill chocolate Oreo filling, and I really couldn\u2019t even tell one was \u201cdark\u201d chocolate.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing interesting or new about the crunchy outer exterior, either; it is, unapologetically, a standard chocolate Oreo cookie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So then, you may be wondering, what\u2019s the point of this Oreo? And to you, I say, I really don\u2019t know. This is a chocolate Oreo with chocolate creme filling. Someone I was sharing them with suggested that they thought one of the cremes was similar to the brownie component of Oreo\u2019s Brookie-O cookie<\/a>, but that seemed like wishful thinking to me.<\/p>\n

In the end, this is a fine product because it\u2019s a chocolate creme Oreo. And those are tasty. But unless you\u2019re a diehard Oreo completist, it\u2019s not the end of the world if you miss out on this release. And if you\u2019re in the market to waste some calories on Oreo cookies, there are plenty of better options. Or if you\u2019re feeling REALLY wild, maybe seek out a blackout cake itself.<\/p>\n
