I laughed when I saw this! We have a cooking show on the radio on Saturday.
There is always a "hot" recipe. For instance, the hot recipe for about a
year was the pineapple angel food cake. You pour a box of angel food cake
mix into a bowl and add a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple in juice, stir,
pour into an 9 x 13 inch pan and bake at 350F for about 35 minutes. OK -
this cake has two ingredients: cake mix and a can of pineapple. During the
three hour show at least six people would call each week for a year because
they didn't get the entire recipe. Before that it was the "Lemonade Cake"
Same thing. Week after week people called because they just didn't get the
recipe. It got to the point where the host would just recite the recipe at
the top of the hour! I was so fascinated by the overwhelming response to
the pineapple angel food cake that I actually went out and bought a cake
mix. It was disappointing - sort of like cotton candy with bits of
pineapple! It must be an acquired taste because people called and raved
about that cake, and how exquisite it was with a big dollop of CoolWhip and
some fresh berries!
Here is another version of the legendary Lemonade Cake:
Lemonade Cake
a.. 1 2-layer white or yellow cake mix
b.. 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
c.. 1 cup sour cream
d.. 6-ounce can frozen lemonade, thawed
e.. 3 large eggs
Place all ingredients in large bowl of electric mixer. Mix on low to blend.
Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 °F.
Turn batter into a greased and floured tube cake pan. Bake in the preheated
oven for 45 minutes.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar or glaze with your favorite lemon glaze.
Pineapple Angel Cake
a.. angel food cake mix (1 step method)
a.. 20-ounce can crushed pineapple in juice
Stir together the cake mix and pineapple just until well mixed. Pour into an
ungreased 13 x 9" baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350 °F. oven for 35
minutes. Cool and cut into squares.
Note: May also bake in a tube or bundt pan. Baking time may be longer.
