Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

This cake is very versatile! It’s great for dessert or brunch! Sprinkling the Bundt pan with sugar before adding the batter gives the cake a pretty crystallized look and forms a crispy crust.

1 (18-ounce) box yellow cake mix, divided use
1 (3½-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding and pie filling
1 cup brown sugar
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 cup chopped pecans, coated with reserved cake mix

Glaze ingredients:

1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a Bundt pan well with cooking spray. Sprinkle pan with granulated sugar.
Reserve 3 tablespoons of dry cake mix.
Pour remaining cake mix into the large mixing bowl of your electric mixer.
Add pudding mix and brown sugar. Mix for about 1 minute to combine dry ingredients.
Combine eggs, oil and water. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, beating on medium speed until well mixed, about 2-3 minutes.
Coat chopped pecans with the reserved dry cake mix.
Add coated nuts to cake batter and mix for about 1 minute.
Pour batter evenly into prepared Bundt pan, and bake for 1 hour or
until cake tester comes out clean.
Place Bundt pan on wire rack, and cool 15 minutes.
Invert cake onto serving platter. Let cool.
Whisk together all glaze ingredients until smooth.
Drizzle over cake.

    Okay - this is a really good recipe - 'cuz I kind of messed it up - and it was still well received! I realized after starting I didn't have vanilla pudding - so I used a little box of CHOCOLATE (gasp!). Then I realized it wasn't the cinnamon cake I was planning to make (DUH) so I just dumped in about 2T of cinnamon!! It was only about my 3rd Bundt cake ever and it came out perfect - people loved it! So, thanks from this fool for the foolproof recipe - :-)

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web!

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
