  Pineapple Pound Cake  This one requires the use of a stand mixer, if you have one. You can do this with a hand mixer or mix by hand, but I personally don't have the stamina or the time. Stand mixers that come with a whisk and a dough hook are just fine. You don't have to spend a fortune.  Notes: 1. I used Butter Flavored Crisco sticks for easy measuring of the shortening and to add that little bit of extra butter flavor.  Sources: Stand mixer (Example)  Amazon.com: Kitchen in the box Stand Mixer,3.2Qt Small Electric Food Mixer,6 Speeds Portable Lightweight Kitchen Mixer for Daily Use with Egg Whisk,Dough Hook,Flat Beater (Blue): Home & Kitchen ************************ Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind.

What can top a colored pound cake? Anything you want. I prefer nothing at all but maybe a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Think of the possibilities! I would want a robin's egg blue raspberry cake at Easter time, green/lime for St. Patrick's Day, Orange or Lemon yellow for June, etc.  Notes: There are many options listed for the vessel to cook in. I do prefer the tube pan option.  Sources Disclaimer: I am not a chef, nor a licensed food service professional of any kind. I'm a grandmother who loves to cook and loves efficient cooking.

 Let's make this quick and easy. We all get surprised by that last minute "I need a cake now!" moment. A quick dash to the pantry may reveal nothing that can be used. With this recipe, you can throw a multitude of cakes together with minor additions like chocolate chips and flavors. I highly recommend keeping flavors handy beyond vanilla extract, such as Torani flavored syrups. Yellow or White Cake 5 cups all-purpose cake mix 1-1/4 cups milk 1 tsp vanilla extract (or any other flavored extract or syrup you want) 3 eggs (or for white cake, whites only) Preheat oven to 350F (175C) Generously grease and lightly flour two 8-or 9-inch round cake pans or one 13x9 baking pan.  In a large bowl, combine cake mix, milk and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer on high speed for one minute. Scrape batter from side of bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat on high one minute longer. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is creamy. Pour batter into pan(s).  B...

Best thing ever to satisfy the sweet craving without going nuts. https://simple-nourished-living.com/weight-watchers-3-2-1-microwave-mug-cake/ https://simple-nourished-living.com/weight-watchers-3-2-1-microwave-mug-cake/ You can find videos on YouTube like this one: Best part is, you can have any cake flavor you want! If there's a cake mix for it, you can make this mug cake recipe with it. I have made pumpkin, carrot, black forest, and coconut to date. I take mix in a jar, with an old tablespoon inside and make it in my coffee cup at work. That old 3 PM sugar craving is handled, and I didn't have to make one giant cake to do it.
