How easy is that? You’ll love this cake and it’s great when served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Prune Cake. Sounds Scary but it’s actually quite tasty.

candygirl — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 20:09:48 +0000

I’ll admit that the words prune and cake sound a little strange in the same sentence but I promise this cake is actually very good. If you are looking for something different to try, give this cake a chance. You’ll be glad you did.
Here’s what you will need
3 eggs
1 cup oil
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour (self rising)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup butter milk
1 cup prune cooked (seedless) diced
1 cup nuts
1 tsp vanilla

Blend sugar, eggs and oil. Add dry ingredients. Add vanilla nuts and prunes. Put into greased 9×13 cake pan and bake at 300 until done.

Icing:
1 lb of brown sugar (light)
1/2 cup of milk

Add sugar and milk to pan and stir until sugar is melted. Continue to cook over medium heat until you can drop a couple of drops into a cup of cold water and it stays in a drop.

Frost cake and serve.

Sugar, Spice, and everything nice. These cookies are great!

candygirl — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 16:36:16 +0000

This recipe has everything I love. M&M’s, peanut butter, chocolate chips and list keeps going. It’s like taking all of your favorite cookies and combining them into one.

The only downside to this fabulous recipe is that it makes 25 dozen cookies. I’ve attempted to cut the recipe in the past and the cookies do not turn out as well. I would recommend making the full batch. They would be great for a baking day with a friend or the baked cookies also freeze well so you could eat the extra cookies later.

Here’s what you will need:

2 lbs brown sugar

1 lb margarine

4tbs syrup

3tbsp vanilla

42oz quick oatmeal

1 lb plain M & M’s

4 cups white sugar

1 dozen eggs

3 lbs crunchy peanut butter

2-16oz pkgs semi sweet chocolate chips.

Mix ingredients together, drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minute or until set @ 350 .
