You know it's a good recipe when your sheet looks like mine! With all my "craftiness" I thought I'd give you a glimpse into my real life of baking, no perfect recipe cards here!lol! The cake is a family favorite. I would cut into it and show you the inside but I'm bringing it to company tonight and that might not look the greatest.LOL!!! Tempting though! It has a really nice marble look inside. The pudding mix makes it really moist too!
The recipe is really easy:
1. 1 pkg of white cake mix (2 layer size)
2. 1 pkg (3 and3/4oz.) instant butterscotch pudding
3. 1/2 c. non fat milk (skim)
4. 1/2 c. water
5. 1/2 c. cooking oil
6. 4 eggs
7. 1/2 c. chocolate syrup (hershey's)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In mixing bowl combine ingredients 1-6 and beat for 3 minutes till smooth
Pour 2/3 of the batter into a greased bundt pan
Mix remaining batter with chocolate syrup and pour evenly over butterscotch mixture
Swirl through the batter gently with a knife
Bake 50-60 minutes
Cool 25minutes in pan then turn out onto wire rack
Top with chocolate glaze.
Chocolate GlazeCombine:
1c. icing sugar
2Tbsp of milk
2Tbsp of corn syrup
1 square pre melted unsweetened chocolate (Baker's secret package)
You want the glaze bearly pourable so add more icing sugar if it is too runny.
Enjoy!
This is a "must have" as we embark on the camping and road trip journey. We all know that it is all about the food! My family has certain "requests" and this is one of them. I already made a large batch of banana chocolate chip muffins. I just have some squares to do yet and we should be set with the goodies. This recipe I found among my mother's things, long after she was gone. It is funny how some foods just take me home. My grandmother made them regularly as well and kept them in an ice cream pail in the freezer. I used to sneak down to the basement quite often and snitch a couple. Yes, these do taste WONDERFUL with coffee!
Jam Jams 2eggs 1c. brown sugar 1c. shortning (crisco blue box) 6tbsp syrup (rogers) 2tsp. baking soda 1tsp. vanilla Flour to make a soft dough (3-5c.) Cream together your shortning and sugar Add the eggs, syrup, and vanilla Sprinkle in the soda Gradually add the flour, just enough so that the dough pulls away from the perimeter of the bowl. Roll out to desired thickness and cut into shapes. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 7 min (or until lightly golden brown) Sandwich your cookies with your favorite homemade jam. I love raspberry, nice and tart!
