LARRAINE'S YUMMY CAKE

(Courtesy of Larraine Kasabuchi)

 

1 box yellow cake mix (I like the butter recipe)

1 cup water

1/2 cup oil (not olive oil, canola oil works well)

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla


Hopefully you have a Kitchenaid or other stand mixer, because you mix the ingredients and then beat them on high for 15 minutes.  Yes, that is a long time.  When finished, pour into a greased 9" by 13" pan (glass works best but aluminum works too).  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  When the cake comes out, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and spread it over the top of the cake, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.  Wait for it to cool completely before cutting.




On some recipes, I will include some additional information to try and help you out (cutting the meat takes some time, use low-sodium or flavor-infused broth, etc.).  These are just suggestions, your experience in the kitchen should be your own - add some extra or different spice, use a different vegetable, just own it.

Why all the recipes?

I have enjoyed cooking ever since I can remember, and while in the past I tended to overseason and add extra ingredients to nearly everything, now I try and keep things simple.  Less is sometimes more... flavor. 


While some of these recipes take a little time and a little preparation, they don't take a lot of skill or experience to produce good food.  The most important thing about cooking is to not be afraid to try something new.  It's not difficult to make something that other people will enjoy.
