Cake for work today...

Last night was our Christmas Party at work but there was 

NO WAY 

I was going to drive the roads were way

to bad...

So I got up and baked to bring today...

Cake Mix ( I used Pillsbury Dark Chocolate because all I think about is chocolate)

Bake according to package directions.

Filling~Frosting

1 8oz pkg Cream Cheese

1/2 Cup Sugar

2 Cups Whip Cream(Cool Whip)

1 Cup Crushed Candy or Cookies or

Filling of your choice

Beat cream cheese until soft peaks form.

add sugar and mix well.

Fold in whip cream and 1 cup of your crushed candy.

For the filling I have also used Oreo cookies & Butterfinger candy bars...

As you noticed in one of my pictures I have 2 straws in the cake,

my mom gave me that tip if you don't want your cake to shift...

Thanks Mom

 it works every time!

Pierogi's and Chicken Rice Soup is what is for supper tonight! 

 A HUGE THANK YOU to Calli 

for sharing her Pierogi's with Emery & I....

I love to bake... So yesterday I experimented with my flan cake recipe & here are my results...
I call it my :

Triple Chocolate Flan Cake

***I used chocolate sauce (Ice cream topping) and I melted chocolate (4oz) into the flan mixture for this flan cake. I also used a can of Sprite instead of coke***
Ingredients:
1 bx devil's food cake mix (any cake mix flavor & your imagination)
1 can of coca-cola ( or your favorite soda)
12 oz can evaporated milk
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 bottle of any caramel/chocolate topping/sauce (Ice cream topping)
Make devil's food cake mix according to directions on box, substituting Coke for the water.Put aside.
Combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs,and vanilla; mix with mixer or in a blender for 2-3 min. Set aside.
Spray Bundt pan with cooking spray. Pour 1/2  caramel/chocolate topping/sauce into bottom of Bundt pan, then pour cake batter in on top of caramel. (You will pour the flan mixture down the side of the Bundt pan and chocolate cake mixture. Flan mixture will go down the side and below the chocolate cake.)
Get a pan that the Bundt pan will fit in. Fill pan with water, then set Bundt pan in water and place in oven. Cook at 400 degrees for about 1 hour. Start checking at 45 min. Use toothpick in the center of the cake to check if done. (Cake will also separate from sides of pan when done.)
You must cool this cake in the refrigerator at least 4-5 hours so that the flan sets up. (I make mine the day before serving and put it in the fridge overnight.) When cooled, put large plate or serving tray on top of Bundt pan and flip over. This cake is very messy because the caramel drips down when you turn it. Remove from refrigerator at least 2 hours prior to serving.
 I have also tried several other experiments with my recipe here is another example:

Lemon Flan Cake

Here I used Lemon Cake Mix & a can of Sundrop

 

My other experiments with flan cake have been:

Spice Cake Mix & a can of Root Beer

Orange Cake Mix &  a can of Orange Soda

Marble Cake Mix & a can of 7 UP Or Sprite
Red Velvet Cake Mix & a can of Coke

&

Of course

Chocolate Cake Mix & a can of Coke

sorry no pictures of these...

I still want to try a  Cherry or Strawberry Cake Mix with a can of Cherry or Strawberry soda...

I would love to give credit to who-ever shared this wonderful 

recipe with me but I can not remember who I have had this for years...

So Thank You for sharing it with me so I can share with others!

                     

My first time ever (its not what your thinking) doing a blog! What am I thinking?

My first time ever (its not what your thinking) doing a blog! 

What am I thinking?

All I can say is I managed to get supper on the table in 35 minutes this evening...

Chicken Rice Soup...I can honestly say I did not(do not) feel like making dumplings

and thank goodness for me having minced onion,carrot & celery in the freezer all

ready to go for just such an occasion...

No rocket science here I boiled 2 chicken breasts added salt, pepper,garlic powered and and palm full of parsley flakes(because I had some) to 2 quarts water(32 oz. in 1 quart) brought to a boil turned down to 3 (I consider that simmer on my stove) for 30 minutes. At the same time I started cooking the rice, 1 cup rice ,salt, butter 2 cups water bring to boil simmer covered for 15 minutes. Shredded chicken threw in my package of carrots,celery, onion (They were minced) I used what I had from my freezer added a can of mushrooms, added 2 tsps. chicken granules.Back into the water I cooked my chicken in...Supper was served...
