Answer 2

I have no idea if you'd be interested, but email me if you are.
I have a decadent cake that Alexandra Ivanovna taught me (my grandmother's friend) and it takes 13 eggs and 2 sticks of butter. You cut it in half, so you can layer in the coffee filling. (by the time it's thinned out in the 2nd stick of butter and 3 eggs, it tastes like milk chocolate, but I'm sure you could lace it with Grand Marnier or other complimentary liquor to spice it up. IF you put too much coffee (it only calls for 3 tables of instant) it does tend to bite of coffee. So, a liquor would make it seem 'on purpose'. (humm, I'll have to try that.) It's a recipe that I had to copy while watching her make it...it's not hard, but a bit involved. I'd give you all the tips and warnings that you would need.. (like make sure the cake was Totally cool or all that butter filling will melt into the cake and become hard, stiff and NOT so good.) Don't need utensils but several bowls. vr66@yahoo

Have you ever heard of Strawberry Soda pop cake? I know it might not sound the best but it is delicious!
What you need:
1 yellow cake mix
1 bottle or can of strawberry soda pop ( you won't use the whole bottle)
2 pkgs. of instant vanilla pudding
2pkgs. of instant strawberry jello
1 container of cool whip

First you bake the cake. Then you take it out and punch little holes all in it. Next, you mix the jello up (just the first step, the hot water) and pour it over the cake. Then you pour about 2 cups of strawberry pop all over the cake. It will soak into the cake. Then put the cake in the refrigerator until it gets cold.
Next put the icing on.
ICING:
Mix the pudding up as directed on the box for a pie then mix the pudding and whip cream together.


Goodluck!

many company' s frown upon liquor at office party's especially if it is during business hours. here is one that is pretty easy and alot of chocolate lovers like it
ecstasy cake

prebake a devils food or chocolate cake according to box directions using a 13x9 or 12x9 pan (disposable aluminum works really well and you don't have to worry if you forget it)
take a drinking straw and poke holes about 1 1/2 " apart in cake.
then take 1 can sweetened condensed milk and pour SLOWLY into holes. then take 10 oz caramel syrup and do the same. top with a nice layer of cool whip. refrigerate overnight

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aNCk5

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 6

My best desert recipe is for a Chocolate Eclair Cake

Recipe:
Ingredients:
Honey Grahams

Then put another layer of graham crackers. Then rest of cool whip udding mixture. then put another layer of grahams.
Put container of chocolate frosting in microwave. Nuke it till it melts. Pour over top layer of grahams. Refrigerate. it's better to refrigerate overnight.

I actually have a trifle recipe that works properly for Thanksgiving or Christmas. a million) Make a 8x8 pan of gingerbread. you should use a field mix in case you pick. fall aside it. 2) Make a field of both butterscotch or vanilla pudding. 3) placed a layer of the crumbled gingerbread on the bottom of a trifle dish or a pitcher bowl. 4) mix the pudding and a can of pumpkin pie mix. placed a layer of pudding mix over the gingerbread. 5) placed a layer of whipped cream. 6) Layer the gingerbread, pudding mix and whipped cream again. you could perfect it with cookies or crumbled graham crackers.

Answer 9

Go to Foodnetwork.com Paula's home cooking and look up Jamie's coconut cake. I tried it this summer and it was great and for the holidays you could use food coloring to dress it up a bit.
