Buttermilk Breakfast Pound Cake

 Buttermilk Breakfast Pound Cake
 
Buttermilk Breakfast Pound Cake

I made this for Sunday School this morning, and everyone seemed to like it. It's a Southern Living recipe that I tweaked a bit. Be sure to coat your Bundt pan well with cooking spray. Mine stuck a bit, but I globbed the glaze over the worst of it, and we ate it just the same! A bit of glaze or frosting can cover a multitude of mistakes! This cake would work great as a dessert, too!

 Cake ingredients:
1  tablespoon granulated sugar
1 box white cake mix
1  cup buttermilk
½  cup butter, melted
5  large eggs
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup finely chopped pecans

Glaze ingredients:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 - 2 tablespoons buttermilk

Cake Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat Bundt pan well with cooking spray and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Using the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat cake mix, buttermilk and butter at medium speed until thoroughly blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans.
Spoon one-third of batter into prepared pan; sprinkle brown sugar mixture evenly over batter. Top with remaining batter.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
Cool cake in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack. Cool 20 minutes and drizzle with glaze.

Glaze Directions:
Whisk together powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and one tablespoon of buttermilk until smooth, adding additional tablespoon of buttermilk, if needed. Drizzle over slightly warm cake.

    Oh, this looks like a lifesaver when you need something for Sunday School - thanks!
    I took PARSNIPS cake this week - I am participating in a Community Supported Agriculture where you get a box of veggies/fruit and you don't know what's going to be in it - and I've gotten parsnips the last THREE boxes :-D
    Basically just like a carrot cake...

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...

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.

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 ...
