Lemon Cake

These pictures are horrible...... this is really good cake though! I think it is Sam's favorite cake. You use a cake mix and add extra things to it so it's really easy. It seems like a spring cake to me for some reason. Anyways, it's really good!

1 pkg. white cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) pkg. lemon instant pudding mix
3/4 c. oil
3 eggs
1 c. lemon lime soda (sprite or seven up or I use the Wal Mart kind and it works just fine)

Mix all ingredients together. Pour into either a bundt pan or a 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes until done.

When cake has cooled for a few minutes remove from pan and pour on glaze.
Glaze:
1 c. powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. milk or lemon juice
Mix together and pour over cake.

White Texas Sheet Cake

This is really yummy cake. It's really easy and makes a lot. Yum, yum, yum. That's all I have to say. I was bad and put ice cream on it............ but I don't really feel that bad about it.

1 c. butter
1 c. water
2 c. sugar
2 c. flour
2 eggs
1/2 c. sour cream
1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

In a large sauce pan bring butter and water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients. Pour into greased 15x10x1 baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Don't over bake!
Frosting:
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. milk
4 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Bring butter and milk to a boil. Remove from heat and add sugar and vanilla. Spread over warm cake.

Mallow-Top Brownies

Don't those look delicious? They were! I made these for a baptism last weekend and they were a hit. These are actually more a cake-like brownie which helps them to not be too overwhelming. The gooey marshmallows and fudgey frosting top them off just right.














Mallow-Top Brownies
1 c. margarine or butter (softened)
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 c. chocolate chips
2 c. miniature marshmallows

Frosting:
1/2 c. margarine
1/3 c. cocoa
1 2/3 c. powdered sugar
1/3 c. milk

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa and salt and add to butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into greased 9x13 pan and bake for 350 for 22 minutes (you do not want to brownies completely cooked at this point). Place miniature marshmallows over brownies and return to oven until marshmallows are melted (for about 3-4 minutes). Brownies should also be done at this point. Remove from oven and let cool 5-10 minutes. Pour frosting over warm brownies.
