I think that is actually the restaurant he got it from

I work at Portillos. The amount of cake we put into the shake depends on the ounce size- 16oz gets half a slice, 32oz gets a full slice. Maybe too sweet because you put too much cake/syrup in for how big the glass was? Anyway, great recreation. Mayo was a great catch, you guys do your research.

Yeah I think it’s too sweet. Tastes too much like standard cake frosting.

this milkshake has lived rent-free in my head for years now, appearing occasionally in the summer when my brain is crying out for a big load of sugar. the idea of gulping down an entire slice of chocolate cake just appeals to me

The shake of the fluffy

Honestly you could do a series on Chicagoland foods. Jibaritos, Maxwells, like four kinds of pizza unique to the city that nobody ever hears about, chicken vesuvio, rib tips, cake shakes, Italian beef, flaming saginaki, mild sauce chicken, the gym shoe, the rainbow cone… It just goes on and on.

Dare you to give the OG recipe

Fluffy’s standup routine on the chocolate cake shake is the whole reason I had to go visit Porrillos the first opportunity that I had.

One of the underrated things about Alvin's videos is when he splits it with everyone at the end so they can take home a piece. Idk why, but I love it

I always love that the end of Alvin's videos is just "I made sure everyone got some." I know you all work together and thus everything is up for grabs once filming wraps but it is just such a great moment to include.

That Fluffy's Special had me go to Portillo's first thing as I landed in Chicago and it did not dissappoint. Probably cut my life expectancy by 5 years but it was so worth it! 🤤

Turning a mud cake into a freak shake! I haven’t watched the channel in a while so it was such a shock (in an exciting way) to see Alvin! I’ve loved his content for such a long time. Back in the Buzzfeed days with the giant foods and his cooking at home series that he did through Covid! I love his style of video making and I love that he still makes a mess any time he uses a stand mixer 😂

Instantly clicked on this, excited to see how it comes out! I have eaten at Portillos at least a hundred times since childhood, love this.

That bubbling on stir was amazing!

Lol, you guys need to invest in leftover containers for how many episodes the food gets divvied up. Definitely a bonus for your employees. I want some of that cake too!

Yeah I like you said that mayonnaise that's in the cake. All it is is oil and eggs and you're already putting those in most cakes. The mayonnaise cake came around when fresh eggs weren't as available during shortages and things like that, there's been times where someone uses the last of my eggs, so I use anything from a banana that I Mash, applesauce. You can use tofu, flex egg, all kinds of things

Seeing this channel covering a place I spent a lot of my childhood eating at, especially trips with my Nana. Really hits different.

I saw cake shake and immediately thought of pie shakes. Core childhood memories right there. A special treat for when we would go to this tiny diner a few towns over.

I don't crave Portillo's too often but when I do it's always the chocolate cake shake OR their lemon cake shake. Just cake shakes in general

The lemon cake shake is a thing of dangerous beauty. Your brain still knows it's a super decadent treat, but the lightness of lemon somehow tricks my tummy into not feeling sick despite being stuffed with a slice of cake blended into a big ol' milkshake after finishing off a Maxwell Street.

Really missing the binging with babish movie/tv foods every Tuesday!

As a Chicago native, this excites me to no end

I’m crying in lactose intolerance land here loving both chocolate and milkshakes!

As a man from Illinois I say; beautiful.

As a Chicagoan, I approve.

Not sure when you'll end up chopping chocolate again, but I would recommend a bread knife. The teeth on it just make it feel like it cuts easier to me...? There's probably some explanation, but definitely try it because a straight edge just feels like it slides too much to me.

I’ve been looking for a recipe for this for a long time THANK YOU!!!!😭

Every video I watch I envy the ppl in that office- everything looks amazing

fluffy had this and it was funny how he told it

Now do their lemon cake!!

Glad to see chicago get some love here.

Always with amazing ideas alvin!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So glad seeing something I've grown up with getting its due! Best thing on the menu!

I know a lot of places that have started making shakes like this. First time I had one was at the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium outside of Universal Studios in Florida. I had a red velvet shake that came with a giant cupcake on top and my wife had the marshmallow crips that came with a large chunk of rice crispie treat on it

I respect Alvin's commitment to making messes.

So I really like the Anything series, but at the same time out of Alvin's last 10 videos, 9 of them have been Anything. There's still so much amazing Arcade and Anime to explore!

You don't need to add that extra slice of cake. Portillo's doesn't blend the cake thoroughly into the shake so you get chunks of cake and frosting as you drink the shake. Probably the best way to do it at home would be to make the shake without the cake first, then add the cake, and pulse it a lot resulting in some well-blended cake AND chunks.

LOL! I love that you used the leftover ice cream from Andrew's vanilla ice cream video. That's perfect. 😄

That looks delicious. 😋 ❤ I wish I had thought of making this when I baked brownies. I have to wait for next time

I’m going to try this recipe this weekend for my kids.

Its rolled gold/or duncan hines. chocolate cake mix. Extra eggs. Mayo instead of oil.. frosting was duncan hines. Very easy. They just use cake mix.

I agree like we barely get a couple episodes with Andrew. The other episode hosts are fine but I feel they are now oversaturating this.

"too much sugar" is exactly how i remember it

This would be another episode of 'Anime with Alvin' making Chiri Kitsu's 'Cake Smoothie' from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

I can have a dumb palette at times, so there's no such thing to me as "too sweet" with chocolate desserts. That looks like absolute bliss 🤩🤩🤩

Absolutely glorious!!! I don't care that I'm lactose intolerant!! Looks like the greatest cheat day ever!!!

Best chocolate cake ever. No contest.

Mayonnaise in cake comes from rationing food in WW2. Eggs were designated for the war effort and thus were hard to come by. However, mayonnaise was not limited like eggs.

Recommendation as a a professional baker. Always start with your liquid and add the dry ingredients in the mixer. You’ll have less mess. Just scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.

An Illinois tradition: Make a chocolate cake and then shove a slice of it into a cup.

I've been to Portillo's being I live in Chicago but I've never had the chocolate cake shake. This looks yummy.

Oh hey! A hometown recipe! That's cool!!!!

as a Chicago native, potillos is supreme to other fast food places

mayo cakes are the best!!! they stay moist for so long!

Andrew: What do we do with all this leftover ice cream? Alvin: Leave that to me.

I remember when this was binging with babish, and when I was still subbed

Man, feels like I'd have to exercise nonstop for two days straight after drinking one of these.

I have eaten the chocolate cake at Portillos. It is not a super decadent chocolate cake, but it is also not a grocery store cake. I'd say it is closer to a simple homemade (maybe from a cake mix, sure) chocolate cake with scratch made icing.

Just watching this thing being made rose my blood pressure.

The chocolate fudge in the ice cream basically makes this a chocolate shake with chocolate cake...way too rich. The beauty of the Portillos' cake shake is the contrast between the rich chocolate cake and the vanilla shake. That cake though looks legit!!

Reminds me of a crazy mason's shake. They top theirs with slices of cake or cheesecake, macarons, cookies, and a ton of other stuff.

Mayo is an EXCELLENT substitute for so many bakery goods if you want a more fluffy texture

They actually had shakes flavored after cakes at a restaurant I went to while visiting meridian in Idaho one time

"Oh, it's gonna happen." -Fluffy

I like how Alvin started the trend of giving everybody a piece of whatever he is creating to take home?

As a chicagoan I approve

I just wanna point out that while it is a widely believed rumor that Portillo's uses mayonnaise in their chocolate cake recipe, the restaurant has never confirmed this to be true or false. One thing they have confirmed is true though, is that the frosting used to coat the cake is actually not house made, it's just your typical, store bought, chocolate frosting.

I am fittingly baked for this episode

I see google searches for " does cake contain mayo ect " are spiking 💀😂 thanks for this knowledge

I've wanted this since Fluffy talked about it in his special.

So yummy❤

A staple and taste of home.

Portillos, Chicago’s best fast food spot for sure

Had me at PORTILLOS 🤤🤤🤤🤤

I was about to be so mad if there wasn’t any mayo. My Chicago heart is so happy.

They certainly know how to put the cake in shake

Fluffy would be PROUD!!!!!!!!
