Make a Cake Mix Taste Homemade

After watching cooking shows on how to make cake mixes

taste like homemade, I thought I would try it. So I Googled
"how to make a cake mix taste homemade", and found a couple
of good ideas. They actually gave about 20 different things to do.

My family was coming for Sunday Dinner and I wanted a

desert but only had a cake mix and a can of icing in my pantry.

 It turned out so good that I just had to have a piece!

too make sure it was fit to serve  ! ha ha,sure !

Ok, this is what I did:

I followed the recipe on the box but instead of the water it called for I used Milk,

One of the things it listed to add was Meringue Powder, so I added the one Tablespoon it said to add. I had made cakes before by adding the icing to the box of cake mix so I decided to add a

 large amount of the Coconut pecan icing to the mixture.  I didn't measure it just scooped it up!

That dough was so good !

I put it in a 9x13 pan and baked it about 20 -30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Just stick toothpicks in it until it comes out clean.

Wa La !

I used the rest of the icing to spread over the top when it was cool.

I made myself a cup of Green Tea and.....

{see the bubble in the cup..oops}

My teacup today is stamped on the back:
Theodore Haviland
New York
Made in America
Gloria

It makes me think of spring!

I bought it at a thrift store a couple years ago.

.....I helped myself to a piece!

Grab a chair and I'll make you a cup of Tea.

HAVE A TEA-LIGHTFUL DAY!
