Dream Cake

D

1 pkg. devil’s food, chocolate, or German chocolate cake mix
1 can sweetened condensed milk
caramel ice cream topping
1 (8 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
4-5 Health or Skor bars, chopped up

Bake cake according to package directions for a 9×13 inch pan; cool for about 5 minutes.

Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes into the cake. Let the cake cool for a little while.

Slowly pour sweetened condensed milk over the cake, letting it sink into the holes; then drizzle some of the caramel over the top of the cake.

(Some people I know heat the milk and caramel together and then pour it over the cake…. I’ve tried it both ways … no real preference here)

Let cake cool completely. Top cake with whipped topping. Decorate the top of the cake with candy bar chunks and swirls of caramel topping. Refrigerate before serving. (Great to make one evening and serve the next.)

DO NOT EVEN MENTION CALORIE COUNT HERE – it exceeds all limits, but wonderfully quick dessert for company and delicious with a cup of coffee!

Pinapple From Can Cake

pinapple cakeA box of Angel Food Cake mix (just the contents of the box, no need to follow the directions on the box), and combine it with a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple in its own juice. (No need to use a mixer, just stir it by hand) When you do this, something magical happens. The mixture starts to froth and it turns into an amazingly airy, fluffy bowl of deliciousness right before your eyes. Once it’s all mixed up, simply pour it into a 9 x 13 baking dish and bake it at 350 for 30 minutes

Bacon “Cup” for a Salad

Wrap foil around the underside of a cupcake tin. Wrap bacon around and over the bottom of each cupcake well. Bake at 300 degrees for  five minutes. This will not take very long and keep your eye on them. Gently slide off the cupcake well and place on paper toweling to dry. Before putting salad in them place in fridge to get a nice cool temperature. Instead of using this with a salad try crumbled up sweet cornbread for a more savory dish.
