Coconut Pecan frosting failure:)
Comments (13)Ha ha. You guys are great. Thanks you made me feel better. I really have to stress too that the cake itself was yummy. The frosting was off the charts decadent so here's what we did with it. I put it back on the heat until it boiled gently and then let it cool again. This thickened it some, enough that we could put it between the two nine inch cake layers and on the top. Then my husband frosted the rest of the cake with the canned stuff after which he cut himself a huge piece and promptly polished it off. It was good after all was said and done. I'll try the recipe on the wrapper recipe for sure. Thanks folks. Kate...See MoreCake recipe for lamb & other cake molds?
Comments (5)Pound cake does seem to be the go to recipe for molds for a lot of people. Much less failure rate as far as holding up, plus you can find a nice flavorful pound cake pretty easily. I don't have my recipes right here, but I did a search and there was a thread on the recipe forum from 2008 where Ann T and Ginger, and other forum members, posted favorite pound cake recipes. Here is a link that might be useful: Pound cakes...See MoreRECIPE: looking 4 dump cake rec.? Anyone heard of it?
Comments (8)Here is a Pumpkin Pie Dump cake from a local newspaper but don't know which one. I've made it several times since I love pumpkin. 1 Box Yellow cake mix, type with no pudding in mix 1 stick (1/2 C.) butter, divided use 3 eggs, divided use 1 large can pumpkin pie mix 2/3 C. Evaporated milk 1 tsp ground cinnamon chopped walnuts Optional topping: whipped cream Oven 350 degrees 1. Remove 1 cup cake mix & set aside. Mix remainder of cake mix with 1/2 stick of butter and 1 egg. 2. Press mixture into bottom of a 13x9 pan and up the sides a little like a crust. 3. In another bowl mix 3 cups pie mix with 2 eggs and evaporated milk. Pour this mixture into the pan 4. Take remaining cake mix and combine with 1/2 stick of butter and cinnamon until crumbly. Add walnuts and sprinkle over top of mixture in pan. 5. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 min. or until knife comes out clean. Here is another one that I'd consider a "Dump Cake" too. All-Star Pumpkin Pie Dessert For Crust: 1 (18 1/4 ounce) pkg SPICE cake mix 1/2 C. butter, melted 1 egg For Filling: 1/2 C packed brown sugar 2/3 C milk 1 (15 oz.) can solid packed pumpkin 2 eggs 2 tsps. pumpkin pie spice For Topping: 1 C. reserved cake mix 1/4 C. packed brown sugar 1/4 c. butter, softened 1/2 C. chopped pecans Whipped cream 350 degree oven grease a 13x9 pan 1.Reserve 1 c. spice cake mix for topping, set aside 2.In large mixing bowl combine remaining cake mix, butter and 1 egg. Beat at low speed until well mixed. Spread in bottom of prep'd pan, set aside 3. In same bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Beat at low until smooth and spread over crust. 4. Combine all topping ingredients except pecans and whipped cream.,,stir til crumbly, stir in pecans, sprinkle over filling. 5. Bake 45-50 min. until knife comes out clean.

Comments (19)I've made peach dump cake for family get-togethers. It's always well-received, but it's far too sweet for my and my hubby's taste. It's a can of peaches, the cake mix and melted butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Just use the amount of butter recommended in the recipe. There are definitely dry patches of cake mix. You don't want the top to be covered in melted butter. It all works out....See MoreVirginia7074
