Claim Jumper is a family style chain restaurant that can please just about anyone. Those of you with a sweet tooth know exactly what I am talking about when I mention two words "dessert menu." One of their signature treats is the "Chocolate Motherload Cake" which is a Ginormous 6 layer chocolate cake with layers after layers of chocolate fudge frosting and lots of walnuts with a price tag of $9.99. This may seem a high price to pay into your chocolate craving but it is well worth the extra cash. But I am more of a cupcake kind of gal and I am not one for sharing, and this motherload cake is impossible to finish on your own. A newer treat Claim Jumper offers is their "Red Velvet" cupcake. Is it really a treat? Well, it is a lightly flavored chocolate cake with red dye topped with their version of a vanilla bean frosting. I was not impressed. But I decided to give it another try a couple of months later, and still not impressed. After having a red velvet cupcake from Sprinkles I am hard to please in the cupcake department. This cake was somewhat dry and disappointing. If your going to go for dessert stick with a no-fail treat, "The Chocolate Mother Load cake." Just be willing to share. However if you have never had a red velvet cupcake you may want to make one on your own. Try Better Crocker and use the homestyle cream cheese frosting.
