I saw this in my Hillbilly Housewife email today. I thought I'd share it with those who don't subscribe.
Betty Crocker ‘Warm Delights’ at $1.39 each. You can get about 7 batches
from just 1-$1 cake mix.
My substitute:
use any flavor of cake mix you like.
have a supply of ‘flavors’, syrups, jams or ice-cream sundae sauces (choc.,
strawberry, pineapple, my favorit)marshmallow syrup, dry coconut, etc.
a can or two of canned frostings if you like (optional)
Recipe: at a ratio of 1 serving of Dry cake mix to 1/2 serving of water and
mixing, add the special sauce or ingredient of your choice, swirl it
through cake mix several times. Top with the final topping (Chocolate
syrup, etc.), bake in microwave oven for just seconds. Enjoy!
Here are samples I love to make and eat!
1:
1/2 cup Dry chocolate cake mix, 1/4 cup water, Mix until smooth. Drop a
heaping tablespoon of canned chocolate fudge icing and swirl through cake
mix. Top with marshmallow syrup (a jar of marshmallow cream that I dilute
with several spoons of water and stir till it will pour).
Bake in microwave for approximately 55-65 seconds.
2:
2/3 cup yellow cake mix, 1/3 water. Mix until smooth. Drop in sweetened
coconut, swirl. Top with marshmallow syrup. Bake in microwave for anywhere
from 60 to 75 seconds. Eat and enjoy!
The only thing tricky about this recipe is to remember that whatever
measurement of cake mix you use, be sure to use 1/2 that same measure of
water. Be sure your cooking dish will hold the amount of cake (it rises and
can run over) and watch the baking time. Different amounts and different
sauces can cause it to need a few seconds more of baking time.
Stick a fork into the cake part to see if it looks like baked cake, if not,
add a few seconds cooking time. NEVER measure the cooking time in MINUTES!
Get inventive and try different combinations. Really good and Cheap!
