Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 OH yes, Ms.Smith's Mince meat pie is great isn't it. It is a huge favorite of my husband's especially. I'm glad their version is vegetarian. We were looking for some at the store this week, but they were out. Boy does it make the house smell good when it is baking Judy - John Wickham Monday, September 11, 2006 7:26 PM Re: QOTW: What is your favorite type of baked dessert?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I am a person that hasn't for the most part learned that it is wise to measure everything. I usually cook with a handful, a pinch, about, etc. My Favorite Baked Dessert is: Depression Cake (Butter, Milk and Egg-Free) 1 C. Brown Sugar 2/3 C. raisins 1/3 C. fat substitute 1 tsp. baking soda (aluminum free) 1-1/4 C. water 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 2 Tbs. Cold water 1-1/2 tsp. allspice 2 C. sifted flour 1/2 tsp. cloves 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder Boil together brown sugar, fat substitute, water, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and raisins. Cool. Mix baking soda, salt and cold water. Add to cooked mixture after it has cooled. Gradually stir in flour and baking powder. Mix well. Pour into sprayed and floured 8 " square pan. Bake at 325 degrees F. about 50 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 From the More With Less cookbook Wacky Cake Master Mix The cake mix says it makes 4 cakes, but I always get 5. Mix it up and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Now, you can use regular baking chocolate and it's good, but I prefer to splurge and buy Ghiradelli's dark cocoa, you just can't beat the taste. Ingredients: 7 ¼ C flour 1 C cocoa powder 2 ½ tsp salt 5 tsp baking soda 5 C sugar To make 1 cake: Add 2 ¾ cup mix to 1 C cold water, 5 T oil, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 T vinegar. Grease a pan, bake 30 min at 350 degrees. I dust with powdered sugar and pour a little milk over individual portions. You can whip up a cheap icing with milk and powdered sugar if you want.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 For frosting, my mom used to mix up margarine, powdered sugar, and cocoa. We'd just eat it out of the bowl. That actually sounds good right now. I think I'm going to make some as soon as the kids take their naps. Or cookie dough... decisions, decisions. Won't that be nice for my husband to come home to? Wife in pajamas, eating frosting and watching Quantum Leap. I dunno how he keeps his hands off me.
