Who posted this recipe ??

16 years ago

I'm making it for tomorrow night; just thought I'd tell you that I think it looks terrific and light and summery. I did a search for who it was that posted it and naturally I cant find it. Whoever you are you referred to this as That Darn Cake or something like that. I even searched for that phrase! haha!!

Anyway, will the real poster of this recipe please stand up? I'd like to save it again with your name on it. So credit can be given.

ORANGE COCONUT CAKE

1 box Duncan Hines golden butter cake mix

1 can mandarin oranges, including any liquid in the can (11-oz.)

4 eggs

1/ 2 cup cooking oil like Crisco oil

Mix together in a large bowl and beat with mixer until oranges have broken up and are distributed through batter, about 4-5 minutes, scraping sides of bowl. Divide batter evenly into 3 greased round cake pans and bake at 325 degrees 20-35 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and set aside on racks to cool.

1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple with juice

1 small package INSTANT lemon pudding mix

1 (7 oz.) package sweetened flaked coconut

1 (8-10 oz.) container of Cool Whip (can use low fat but not the fat free)

Mix pineapple and pudding mix until smooth in large bowl. Add coconut and mix. Blend in cool whip gently but thoroughly.

Assemble cake, spreading a lot of cool whip mixture between layers. Frost sides and top. Chill overnight in the refrigerator. Notes: finished cake can be frozen and then defrosted in the refrigerator. You can also bake it in two pans; just increase the cooking time.

Shaun, that was me on the thread linked below. It's best served chilled right from the fridge. I hope it will get a good reception.

Glad I checked in on this, Catkim. I have that pie baking in the oven as I'm typing this and boy, does it smell heavenly. Glad to have the heads up about the pie needing time to cool and set up - I wondered as I was preparing it, as the filling ingredients were so *wet* because of the juicy pears and syrup! DH will just have to be patient and be ready to enjoy pear & walnut pie for dessert tomorrow. (Like you, I used my usual (oil based, not shortening) pie crust as well. To me, the crust part of the recipe seemed like too much work, LOL!) Anne

Garbage Swap is a form of Yankee Swap. The rules are: The item for the swap must be something already in your possession, no purchasing allowed. Item must be something you desperately want to toss out. Spouses may not be submitted as Garbage Swap items! Do not wrap the item, simply place it in a used grocery bag or trash bag and tie or tape the bag shut. If the bag is transparent and the identity of the item can be discerned without opening the bag, cover the item with newspaper or other suitable material. All items must be removed but the final recipients at the end of the swap. Items must be able to be carried by one very old, out of shape person. If the item cannot be carried by one person, then the donor must assist the final recipient with removing the item from the premises. Only one item submission per participant. No trailer loads allowed. We put numbers one through however any gifts we have in a hat. Each participant draws a number. Number ones goes first picking an item then two then three, etc. At their turn if recipient does not like the item they receive they can swap it with any open gift. When all the numbers have opened their gifts, number one has the final option to swap. Some of this year's items inc. the Fifty Shades of Gray trilogy, a Red Neck Romace kit, a very bad bottle of wine, a chipped casserole dish, a toilet seat, several risque items, folk albums from the 1950's and a book on how live life on 99 cents.

Terriks - was it you who posted the broccoli recipe?

Here's the recipe again. I haven't made it with pine nuts, and I don't add more olive oil after roasting the broccoli. It is important to make sure that each piece of broccoli is well coated. I was just amazed at the flavor, as it had never occurred to me before to roast broccoli.

How could something so pretty....

Looks wonderful....did it taste bad? You know after a certain amount of time in the kitchen, you sort of know which recipes will work and which won't.... And you realize that a lot of the recipes posted on the Zaar and like sites are just because someone wants to post. I went to a soup lunch at church today, done by one committee to raise money for their program... The gazspacho was sort of creamy looking...I didn't taste it....the minestrone was pretty good, but there was no garlic and lots of under cooked potatoes....and no meat. The broccoli cheese soupw as made with either cheeze whiz or a can of cheese soup... Then the desserts...lemon bars and brownies! I took a lemon bar....and it was strangely "firm" I bit into it and it was sticky on the outside but the inside was like scramgbled eggs and there was little or no lemon flavor. Someone sitting with me said..."I think they bought them"...I said no....no one would ever sell a lemon bar like that. Then there were the brownies....salty, dry and very littl;e chocolate flavor.... The person on the other side said maybe they were from a mix?....Nope....any mix would be better than that! Where do these awful recipes come from??? Sorry your cake didn't turn out....text time remember....follow your instincts! Linda C

That recipe we call Pig Pickin' cake around here. It's very light and usually chilled so it makes a light dessert after a pig picking or roast pig barbecue. I love that cake!

A pig roast!

After all the chunks of meat have been removed from the pig carcass and served, the lucky (or smart) people stand around the pig and eat the crispy skin bits and juicy meat bits that were too small to "serve".
