The After
First, a little back story.
My son's kindergarten class was studying apples last week and we were supposed to take in something with apples for the class to taste. Of course it had to be store bought so I couldn't bake anything but I was inspired to make this.
Ingredients:
1 Spice Cake Mix
1 Can Apple Pie Filling
3 heaping spoon fulls of Pumpkin Pie Puree - probably 1/2 - 3/4 of a cup
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Eggs
Mix in a large bowl, the cake mix, oil, and eggs. Then mix in the pie filling and pumpkin. Bake at 350 for 35 - 37 minutes.
After 10 minutes, flip over onto cooling rack WITHOUT dropping your favorite piece of stoneware and destroying your cake.
The cake is heavy. The pan is also heavy and very slick especially with hot pads. I totally lost my grip mid-air and dropped it. The cake actually fell out in one piece. It fell apart when I tried to pick it up. However, I made a "trifle" out of it and it was delicious.
I used this frosting recipe to top it
Frosting:
1 pkg. Cream Cheese
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 cube of Margarine or Butter
1 tsp. Vanilla
Cream the butter and cream cheese together. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
This actually tasted a lot like Pumpkin Pie and it was so yummy. Looked AWFUL but tasted great.
Oh Brie, that is so funny!! (Especially the instructions about flipping the cake out without dropping the pan.) I'm sorry about the stoneware, because they're so darn expensive and so beloved!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your stoneware too! I did something similar one time but instead of my pan cracking, I took a chunk out of our stove!:(
ReplyDeletep.s. I would totally blame it on the pregnancy!
Suzie,
ReplyDeleteThat was actually my biggest concern. I was afraid to move everything to check my stove but thank goodness it didn't do anything to it. I'm sure my landlord is happy about that, too!
