The Overcooked series is one of my favorite food themed games. The controlled chaos that happens during a round is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in a game. I love sitting on the couch with teammates and eventually yelling at one another to make sure our kitchen doesn’t burn to the ground. This is a game I cannot play solo. I’ve tried several times handling two chefs in the kitchen and my brain explodes. Most of my experience has been with Jeff and I can say this game has only brought us closer together. There are times we goof and just have to completely restart but the whole experience is so enjoyable. After an hour or so of playing I typically need to stop because I was so focused and haven’t blinked that whole time.
Cakes can be tricky. I sometimes find myself cursing them while I bake them. One of my weaknesses is decoration and Overcooked 2 does a good job of making a delicious and simple cake design. In later levels, your chefs learn how to make honey cakes. Of course, I had to match the chef in game and make myself a batch of these cakes. In the game you can make either a white or chocolate cake variety. Since I love chocolate, I decided to make this recipe a honey chocolate cake. To get the flavor of honey throughout the cake, I used it both in the frosting and in the cake itself. On top of that, I added honeycomb. The honeycomb is optional because it is a bit pricey. It does add a nice flavor and extra texture to the filling. It is your cake so feel free to add it if you would like.
