I need to make a cake for DSs school fundraiser next weekend ~ this applesauce cake fits the bill! :cheer2:
 
That was always my favorite as a kid! My grandmother made it for us - with the Caramel Icing. Mmmm!!!! :teeth:
 


Wow piratesmate! Thanks for all the great cake recipes! I have saved them all, they sound wonderful! :cool1:

I have never heard of an Apple Sauce cake (I must be sheltered! :blush: ), I am going to have to try that one first!
 
Both of my kids had the applesauce cake (as cupcakes) for their first birthday since it didn't have eggs. I also fooled myself into thinking it had some nutritional value because of the fruit ;) ...at least more than a regular cake. :rolleyes: Of course I skipped the nuts & just used Cool Whip on them. Between those memories & watching Grammy make it, even seeing the recipe always brings a smile to my face.

I have a couple other favorites from my grandmother and great-great-aunt, but they're missing instructions or say things like "flour" (instead of 2 c flour) or "bake in a quick oven" or "use a piece of butter the size of a walnut".

One of those is for a Hot Milk Sponge Cake, which is the first cake I ever made by myself - at age 10. Either there used to be more instructions written somewhere, or I just dumped everything in a bowl & mixed, then baked at 350 until it "looked done." :confused3 I remember it was awfully good though! ;)

Awww! What wonderful memories and family traditions! That's what it's all about after all. Your little ones will surely appreciate your thoughtfulness and continue on with them with their own children someday! That's great! :goodvibes

My Grandma made what she called 1 2 3 Drop Cookies. She taught me the recipe when I was a child, I wish I could remember it now.... I wrote it down then, but I was just a child and now I can't find it.... It is lost forever I'm sure. But, I do have the wonderful memories of us making them together!
 


Can't take credit for this one, it's Paula Deen's from the Food Network but boy is it GOOD and I don't even like pumpkin:

Cake:
1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
To make the cake: Combine all of the ingredients and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Prepare filling.
To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.
Serve with fresh whipped cream.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love to make this one when we have an abundance of fresh apples:

Apple Cake with Sauce

4 cups apples, peeled and sliced
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup oil
1 cup chopped pecans

In large bowl place apples and coat with sugar. Add all dry ingredients. In separate bowl, beat eggs, oil and vanilla. Add to apple mixture. Batter will be very thick. Stir in pecans. Pour into greased 9x13 pan or Bundt pan. Bake 50 minutes at 350 degrees.

Sauce:
1 cup sugar
½ cup butter or margarine
½ cup cream or evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

In small saucepan bring to boil over medium heat. Serve sauce separate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one has been a family favorite for a long time. It's not too sweet so it makes a great coffee cake, or it's great served with fruit. You can make it in a bundt pan, tube pan, or whatever. I made it at Christmas time in the NordicWare Bundt pan that looked like a ring of Christmas trees and it came out great.


Apricot Nectar Cake

1 package yellow cake mix
1 small package lemon Jello
1 can apricot nectar
¾ cup oil
4 eggs
4 tablespoons lemon extract

Mix all ingredients together. Cook about 1 hour at 375 degrees. Remove from oven when brown. While warm, punch holes in cake and spread with 1 cup powdered sugar mixed with small amount of lemon juice.
 
Just wanted to bring this thread back up since I'm baking this afternoon.

Well, down South where I live, everybody knows there's nothing better than a piece of caramel cake just iced, and still warm from the oven! Around here, you can even by cartons of caramel frosting that someone sells from a business they started in their home. Who knew????

Anyway, today I'm baking one of our very favorites---Caramel Cake. My kids will have a surprise when they come home today!

BTW, Deb, I'm going to have to try your apple cake and caramel frosting. We love caramel on anything----especially the spoon!

Caramel Cake

1 pkg yellow or white cake mix (I use the cheap store brand)
1 cup milk (whatever's in the icebox--2%, whole, or even 1%)
1 stick butter, melted (I never substitute margarine on this--butter's best!)
3 eggs
2 tspns. vanilla

Mix all this up for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as you mix. Pour into a 13 X 9 pan (greased or sprayed with Pam) and bake for about 30 mins. at 350 degrees. Ice with Caramel Icing (to follow)


Caramel Icing

1 stick butter (again, I don't substitute here unless it's a dire emergency! ;) )
1 cup brown sugar (I use light brown and pack it well)
1/4 cup milk (again, whatever's in the icebox will do--no buttermilk though)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tspn. vanilla

Cook butter, brown sugar together on low heat, stirring constantly, to a boil and boil for 2 mins.. This is a low boil with little bubbles appearing--remember low heat. Remove from the heat and add the milk and stir it well again, putting it on low heat and bringing it back to a boil. Now remove from the heat and add the powdered sugar and vanilla. At this time I like to throw in a few marshmallows to make it a bit more creamy---probably about 4 or 5 large ones. Beat the icing until smooth (I use a wire wisk) and then pour over the warm cake. Try to convince kids that all the icing was put on the cake, while secretly having a special spot waiting to hide said spoon ;) . Now, go find a quiet corner, grab a glass of milk, and enjoy the warm caramel from the spoon. Then, after holding off kids long enough, cut the cake and serve it warm with cold glasses of milk. Yummmmmmm!!!
 
Well, I now have more cake recipes to save! They sound really good. I have a binder that I decorated and call it the Dis Cookbook. All the reicpes I get here from the Dis, including the holiday recipe exchange and the scrapping one Patty hosted, are in there.

When I worked in our local hospital, they had a holiday Holly Fair, which included crafts and a bake sale. My sister bought a cake there that was so delicious, and the woman who made it had her address label on it. She wrote to her and she mailed us the recipe. Whenever I make it I get asked for the recipe too, it is soo good, and very easy to make. Here it is:

Sherry Wine Cake

1 pkg. Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix
1 pkg. Jello instant Vanilla or French Vanilla pudding
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg

Combine the above ingredients in a large bowl.

With a rotary mixer beat together: (this fits well in a 4c. measuring cup and makes it easy to pour.)

4 eggs
1/2 c. veg. oil
1 c. sherry wine (could use Gallo sherry)

Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and blend well, by hand, using a wire whisk. Beat quite well, but if it appears a little lumpy, don't worry over it.

Grease a Bundt pan with Crisco NOT butter, and bake for 45 - 50 min at 350 degrees.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving



This is a recipe I got from one of my patients. She called it Italian Cake, the cookies absorb the pudding and the liquor, and it is a very good cake too.

Italian Cake

1 pkg. Vanilla pudding
1 pkg. Chocolat pudding
2 pkgs Stella D'Oro Anisette Sponge cookies
1/2 c. Kahlua, or Anisette, or Amaretto (any liquor you like)
1/2 c. water
1/2 pint heavy cream
1 pkg. slivered almonds

In springform pan, use 1 pkg of the cookies to make the 1st layer of the cake, sponge side up (wedge them in together). Mix liquor and water and sprinkle 1/2 of this mixture on the cookies. Cook vanilla pudding and pour over the cookies. Then layer 2nd pkg. of cookies on top of that, sprinkle on remaining liquor and repeat as above with the chocolate pudding. Place in refrigerator overnight, or until pudding sets. Beat cream until stiff. Take cake out of pan and ice with the whipped cream. Sprinkle almonds on sides and top if you like. Refrigerate until serving.
 
Twigs, those recipes sound so good!

For the Italian Cake---are both of those puddings the cook & serve kind, not instant---right?

The pumpkins cake mentioned by Yummy 72 by Paula Deen is her famous Gooey Cake...It is Delicious!!! My 12 yo DD bakes it as often as I will let her,....but she changes the filling, she has used cans of pie filling instead of pumpkin....apple, cherry, raspberry, etc...even cholcolate chips with a chocolate cake mix...and we can't decide which we love the most!!!

Don't be turned off because this has prunes in it. This is so good! Our family always has one at Christmas. It'snot very pretty, but it makes up for it by being very moist and so yummy. By the way, to cook the prunes, just cut them up and put a bit of water on them and heat. They soak up most of the moisture, so I just put the juice in with them. I've never had this recipe fail.
