Answer 2

Um, or you could make it from SCRATCH:

DINETTE CAKE FROM BETTY CROCKER

1 1/2 c. cake flour or 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk
1/3 c. shortening
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour square pan, 8 x 8 x 2 inches or 9 x 9 x 2 inches. Measure all ingredients into large mixer bowl. Blend 1/2 minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Beat 3 minutes high speed scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on cooling rack. If desired frost cake with your favorite icing or make it into a strawberry shortcake.

This is THE basic cake recipe and the first I learned to make. If you can make this, then you can add whatever flavorings/fruits in small increments. I guess what I'm trying to say is take a known, basic recipe and alter one thing at a time if you want to experiment.

Also check out www.allrecipes.com because I think they still have a feature where you can name the ingredients you have and they'll give you a recipe to make.

This is one my daughter likes to make. Kake a white cake mix in a sheet pan according to package directions. Let cool completely (leave in the pan) and then poke holes in the cake 1/2 way through the thickness of the cake. I use a fork or a wooden spoon handle. Space the holes at random if using a wooden spoon. Chill the cake in the fridge. Prepare a large package of Jell-O as directed on the package. Pour the liquid Jell-O over the cooled cake. Place in the fridge until completely cold and the jello has set. Top with a layer of cool whip. For other great recipes please visit my web site at http://www.yummyfood.net

You can't get much simpler or better than a good ol' fashioned pound cake! Here's my fave recipe:


Buttermilk Pound Cake

1 cup butter (no substitutes), room temp.
3 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, optional

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking soda; add alternately with the buttermilk and beat well. Stir in vanilla. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar.

Answer 5

SIMPLE BANANA NUT CAKE

1 box white cake mix
1/3 cup oil
1 1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1 box banana cream pudding mix
1 cup chopped pecans

Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 inch cake pan. Cook at 350°F for 32 to 36 minutes.

Tastes like banana nut bread. If you want icing, Pillsbury cream cheese icing makes for a good combination.

Try using different kinds of pudding mixes. My husband loves pistachio.

Answer 8

i'm no longer a extensive fan of convenience meals, yet boxed cake mixes rather are rather sturdy. in case you're an green baker you will probable get greater clever consequences. in basic terms pass to the food market baking aisle and look at each and all of the thoughts. p.c.. although you think of your chum will love. i choose to propose sticking to a popularity style, no longer a commonplace or keep style. it rather is not that high priced. earlier leaving the keep, study the instructions to establish you have all the different factors obtainable (frequently eggs, oil). stick to the instructions. determine to no longer over mixture the batter. mixture it as low as feasible to incorporate the climate. some little lumps isn't a concern. The instructions will spell it out. yet another beginner mistake is to forget approximately to preheat the oven. it rather is substantial. do no longer peek interior the oven too plenty the two.

Answer 10

Coconut Kahula Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:
1 (18.5-oz.) pkg devil's food cake mix
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Kahlua or coffee flavored liqueur
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 (6-oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup flake coconut
1/2 tsp coconut extract

Directions:
1. In large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, sour cream, Kahlua, coconut extract and vegetable oil. Using electric mixer, beat at low speed to blend, then increase speed and beat for 3-5 minutes at medium-fast speed.

2. Stir in chocolate chips and coconut. Pour batter into greased and floured 10-inch Bundt or tube pan. (I sugar instead of four my pan.) Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

3. Cool in pan or on rack for 30 minutes. Loosen from pan and invert, removing pan. Cool completely on rack.

Now you can be creative. I sometimes make a powdered sugar frosting to drizzle over cake. You can use a mocha or Kahlua flavor in the frosting. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or just serve plain with French Vanilla Ice Cream. It is always a hit.


Number Of Servings:10-12


Kahula Coconut Icing

1 cup powdered sugar
4 to 5 tsp. milk, divided
Kahula to taste
Coconut extract to taste
Coconut flakes

MIX powdered sugar, extract, Kahula and 4 tsp. of the milk until well blended.

STIR in remaining 1 tsp. milk, if necessary for desired consistency.

Drizzle over cooled cake and sprinkle on flake coconut.
