“Doctored” cake mix 2-ways. I found a few of boxes of expired cake mixes and jello packets in the cupboard, and used half of one pair- a yellow cake and lemon jello - to make (Lemon) Jello Poke cake, subbing in applesauce for the oil listed for the mix.
Half of the cake baked in an 8x8 pan, poked with a serving fork after cooling briefly, then half of prepared jello poured over (rest of jello simply chilled). We’ve been enjoying the moist chilled cake under fresh strawberries.
The 2nd half of the prepared cake batter became streusel-topped cinnamon pecan cupcakes/muffins, with 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 C . chopped pecans stirred into the batter before portioning into cupcakes, then each topped with a heaping tsp of streusel – blendered-oatmeal / cinnamon/ pecans/ brown sugar/ melted butter.
Serious consideration will be given to this! !
I might want to make half tho’. I see SK also uses the FP and cold cream cheese as I did with the ones I made…it really makes the mixing quick . Looks like a lot of cornstarch, I’ll read the reviews.
1/3 of SK Basque cheesecake is very comparable to the mini cake that we both have made, but…it has 5x the cornstarch! A little less sugar and a bit more hvy cream but otherwise, pretty much the same. I’m holding out on this one
Back in the Chow days you kindly sent me a recipe for the ultimate chip cookie from the Cookbook Slice and Bake, which later was a deal on kindle that I grabbed. So yesterday I baked them again and they were just as delicious as I remembered. So thanks again!
I seem to recall using the Serious Eats jammy fruit bar recipe, but notice its developed for a smaller pan size, and is sometimes underbaked according to the reviews.
There’s a Spruce recipe in one of those links that looks promising.
I also recall a thread about using up jam that may have included a fruit bar recipe; I will look for it.
Any thoughts on looking for an egg or an egg yolk in a recipe? Somehow that sounds more cake than bar (cookie) to me.
I’m looking for a recipe someone posted here for cream biscuits to use in strawberry shortcake - anyone remember posting such a thing? I have a bunch of heavy cream to use up and my go-to recipe is floury, not creamy.
