| Grilled Hamburger Cake! It really looks like Cake!! |
On Purim wicked Haman plotted the Jews’ disaster,
But G-d foiled his plans through Mordechai and Esther.
We say V’nahafoch-hu, on Purim things were turned around,
And though in the Megilla G-d’s name is hidden – miracles abound!
For your Purim Seuda, turn things around too…
Because Hashem saved each and every Jew!
Instead of cake for dessert, make it for the main,
It sounds really crazy – just let me explain.
When is a cake, not really a cake – ask if you will…
When can you actually make a cake on the grill?!!
When does a cake have beef, but no flour and doesn’t rise?!!
When you make a V’nahafoch-hu Grilled Hamburger Cake…surprise!
I know it sounds strange, beef in a cake!
But I promise you – this one’s real easy to make.
Two big hamburgers make up the layers inside,
And smooth mashed potatoes “frost” the cake with pride.
A ketchup drizzle, a fancy decoration…
You bring out the cake for the main with no explanation.
Your guests stare with wonder at a cake for the meal,
But you know that this “cake” is the real deal!
For Purim this year I wish you much happiness and joy,
And hope that I have helped you with your own Purim ploy!
Chag Sameach!!!
