HONEY BUN COFFEE CAKE

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix

8 ounce tub sour cream

4 eggs

3/4 c. vegetable oil

1 c brown sugar

1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

2 c. powdered sugar

4 Tbsp. milk

1 Tbsp. vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 325. Prepare 9 x 13 pan.

In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and sour cream.

Stir by hand until large lumps are gone. There will still be some lumps but that's ok.

Pour half the batter into the pan.

Now, in a medium bowl. Take your brown sugar and cinnamon and combine.

Mix up your brown sugar and cinnamon really well.

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture all over the batter in the cake pan.

Don't do what I did below. Be sure to get that cinnamon mixture all the way to the edge of the pan.

Now carefully spread the other half of the batter on top.

Don't be afraid, it's gonna get really uncomfortable.

All the batter and stuff is gonna get all mixed together and you're gonna think you are doing it all wrong.

But don't worry how it looks. Trust me.

Once it's all spread around, take a butter knife and twirl it all through the batter, so it gets all swirly and stuff.

Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Just when it's about done baking, mix together your powdered sugar, vanilla and milk.

I always use a fork to be sure all the little clumps get broken up.

Once the cake comes out of the oven, waste no time at all.

Pour this powdered sugar mixture over the warm cake.

Now sit back and wait for the wonderful crackle to appear.

Oh that honey bun topping.

Try your hardest to wait about 15 minutes before you cut into her.

I know it's gonna be hard waiting, especially if you have a nice cup of coffee sitting there.

But once it's time, close your eyes, and see if it takes you back to your Honey Bun days.

And if you don't have any Honey Bun memories, then start those memories today, right now.

Coconut Orange Cake

Cake:

1 orange cake mix (I used Pillsbury Moist Supreme Creamsicle cake mix)

1 cup flaked, sweetened coconut

Tools: Cake Leveler for beautiful even cake layers

Frosting:

1 (15 oz.) can mandarin oranges, do not drain, crushed

Note: If you are using mandarin oranges for garnish, be sure to set a few aside

1 (5 oz.) large instant vanilla pudding mix (not prepared)

1 cup flaked, sweetened coconut

1 (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed

How to make it:

1. Preheat oven to 350-f degrees. Line two 9" cake pans with parchment paper and then spray with nonstick baking spray.

2. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. After the cake has been mixed well, stir in 1 cup of coconut. Bake according to cake mix instructions for two 9" cake pans. After cooked through, remove from oven and let cool.

3. Prepare frosting: In a large mixing bowl, crush the mandarin oranges with their juices with an electric mixer. Mix in the instant pudding mix and coconut and mix well. Fold in the whipped topping until combined.

4. When the cakes are cool enough to handle, remove them from the pans and set on a flat surface. Using a cake leveler, cut the tops off both of the cakes to get a flat surface. Take one of the cakes and place the cut side down on the cake plate. Add a layer of frosting. Place the 2nd layer cut side down on top of the frosting layer. (This will give you a perfectly flat surface on the top of the cake for great looking frosting). Frost the top and sides of the cake. Garnish with a few mandarin oranges if desired.

5. Let chill in the fridge for several hours before serving.

Chocolate Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Filling and Chocolate Buttercream

Please say something when you see the recipe! Saying ANYthing is good, it helps you continue seeing my posts! Thank you!

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar

1 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup natural cocoa powder (such as Hershey's)

1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup boiling water

How to make it :

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat three 8-inch cake pans with nonstick spray. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper. Spray each pan again and coat with a thin layer of flour.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla, and mix until everything is thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the boiling water; the batter will be very thin.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each layer comes out clean. Cool the layers in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Wrap each layer in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Make the cream cheese filling and chocolate buttercream (see recipes below). When you're ready to assemble the cake, remove the layers from the refrigerator. If needed, level each layer with a serrated knife or cake leveler.

Place the bottom layer on a cake plate. Evenly spread about 3/4 cup of the cream cheese filling over the cake, leaving about 1/2 inch margin around the edges. Top with the second layer and repeat. Finally, top with the third layer. Apply a thin layer of chocolate buttercream over the top and sides of the cake. This is only a crumb coat, so it doesn't need to be perfect. Refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes.

Remove the cake from the refrigerator and apply a final layer of chocolate buttercream, as well as any desired embellishments.

Cream Cheese Frosting

How to make it :

1 cup (8 oz) cream cheese

3/4 cup (6 oz) butter

1/2 tablespoon vanilla

6 cups (24 oz) powdered sugar

Beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed for about one minute. Add the vanilla and beat one minute more. Reduce the mixing speed to low, and add the powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time. Once the sugar is completely incorporated, beat at medium speed for about two minutes or until fluffy.

Chocolate Buttercream

1 cup (8 oz) butter

1 & 3/4 cups (5 oz) natural or dutch-processed cocoa powder

6 cups (24 oz) powdered sugar

1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons milk

2 teaspoons vanilla

In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Beat the butter with an electric mixer at medium speed for about one minute. Reduce the mixing speed to low, and add the sugar/cocoa mixture about 1/2 cup at a time. Halfway through this process, add the milk and vanilla. Once all of the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, beat at medium speed for about two minutes or until fluffy.

Grape Salad

INGREDIENTS and DIRECTIONS:

16 oz sour cream

16 oz cream cheese

1 cup sugar

Couple squirts of pure vanilla

Approx. 4 lbs green seedless grapes

Approx. 4 lbs red seedless grapes

Maybe 4 cups pecans

1 quart strawberries

Blend cream cheese and sugar together, then, add sour cream and vanilla. Fold in all other ingredients making sure to coat evenly. Save a little fruit and pecans for garnishing. This recipe will feed 15/20 people.

When I do this for me, I use the low fat sour cream and cream cheese. I also use Splenda. You can use any other fruits you want. (If you use apples, be sure to do a lemon juice/water bath on them first.) You can also sprinkle with brown sugar.
