apple dump cake?

apple crumble? apple crisp? not really too sure how to label it but I can tell you it was damn good.

2 cans apple pie filling
1 box yellow cake mix
apple pie spice
1 stick of butter

-preheat oven to 350 degrees
-spray a 13 x 9 pan with cooking spray
-empty cans of apples into pan
-sprinkle apple pie spice over apples as much or as little as you like
-dump cake mix over apples
-dot entire dish with butter
-bake uncovered for 50 minutes
super easy, stuff you most likely have on hand and while we bought ice cream to go on top it did not need it at all in my opinion.

applesauce spice cake

got this from a great bundt cake cookbook put out by Nordic ware

1 box yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) package instant butterscotch or french vanilla pudding mix
1 cup applesauce-I prefer cinnamon applesauce but anything works
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup oil
4 eggs
1 1/2 tsp apple pie spice

-heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease & flour or just use the Pam spray for baking a Bundt pan
just use the regular normal sized pan the 12 cup. You can use the fancy smaller ones(10 cup) but that will leave you with extra batter that will make about 4 cupcakes.
-Mix all of the ingredients on medium speed for 2 minutes, pour into pan
-bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean
-cool for 10 minutes then remove from pan & cool completely on rack
-I prefer a dusting of powdered sugar but this can also be left plain or be glazed

due to overwhelming demand

okay only Jenni was looking for it but here is the famous rum cake recipe-as with most stuff on this blog it is incredibly easy!!!

1 box yellow cake mix
1box vanilla pudding I prefer french vanilla
1/3 cup rum and more
3 eggs
1/2 milk
1/4 cup oil
grease bundt pan preheat oven to 325
mix everything(handheld mixer maybe a minute or two) I usually add a splash or two more of rum just because the mix will be fairly dense Put in pan and bake for about 50 minutes
let cool in pan about hour then move to a rack. Once completely cool poke some holes into the cake and pour a bit of rum over the top of the cake then just let it sit we prefer overnight. Then we add the icing which is
1/4 cup butter
1/8 cup of water
1/2 cup of white sugar
boil then add 1/4 cup rum
pour this over the cake
and voila rum cake easy and you can use generic mixes even cheapo rum so it is not an expensive treat.

rum cake time

nope no recipe here sorry family secret!

Several years ago David decided he wanted to re-create his mother's rum cake which I suppose she made when they were younger it's not one of those things that had become her dish to make or bring in fact in the 13 years I have been around she has never made one. Anyhoo he got the recipe and re-create he did but come on seriously how can you screw up something with that much rum. Although I believe the addition of more rum is David's doing. The rum cakes have become semi-famous in our own heads anyway and they are made for work functions and friends around the holidays. The garbage men also get one too so be careful on Thursday if you see a garbage truck driving erratically. At this point the cakes have become a joint effort with me doing the baking and David doing the rumming after it has cooled. It is a good system and it works well, I occasionally get to do the rumming like this morning because I am up so frickin' early and will leave for work probably before David gets out of bed.

The cakes are smelling pretty yummy this morning even if I do say so myself
