For all you chocolate lovers, this is a
well-known, super easy, cake.
While working with FSD Donna Young, R.D. in
Sioux City, Iowa, I tasted a chocolate cake that was wonderfully moist and
delicious. Upon investigation, I discovered that the recipe calls for
cherry pie filling instead of liquid of any kind. That's right, the recipe
is correct, and it is a "no brainer". In fact, my daughter makes
another version with spice cake mix and apple pie filling. It has a cream
cheese frosting and is also delicious. I would definitely serve both cakes
in your cafeterias.
The source of this cake recipe was Bobby Jo
Lupkes at an Elks Lodge someplace. However, I am told that it is a well
known recipe that has been around for a long time. I guess I've been
living on another planet or something.
If you have time, send me one of your
favorite quick and easy dessert recipes that you don't mind sharing.
