The pumpkin puree does the job of all that! You will love that it takes less than 5 minutes to make! Use your favorite brownie mix. I…
From Betty Crocker, this moist, flavorful zucchini banana cake needs no fork! It is more like a SNACK CAKE that you pick up with your hands. I cut the 8-inch square cake into 16 pieces instead of 9. That way the squares are small and sturdy enough to pick up. It works great! Plus there is a bonus: smaller squares means lower calories! I love…

Del Monte’s recipe for a great peach pound cake with peaches inside the cake and on top is so easy to make and it’s a real pretty cake too. It is LOW-CALORIE! if you use peaches in pear juice instead of syrup, the calories are lower-only 98 calories a slice! Sometimes I use 2 whole eggs instead of 4 egg whites. The egg whites make…
Vanilla Cream Torte, (“Erosion Cake”), or Flourless Vanilla Wafer Cake, or Walnut Cream Cake- there are many names for this oldie but goodie recipe! It is a family favorite! I first got it from my mother-in-law, Ruth, who was always trying new recipes. I believe she got it from the Nabisco Company. She found it in the late 1960’s, and she dubbed it the “Erosion…

Like RED VELVET CAKE? Yes? Then a “from scratch” red velvet cake recipe is the only way to go! A box mix comes out too dry and tasteless while this lives up to it’s name! The buttermilk helps to make it velvety smooth and rich! When you add the baking soda on top of the white vinegar, you will get a fizzing reaction. Watch…

This coffee cake has a crunchy shortbread topping, pecans, and a layer of fruit. It is a favorite of mine! And of Bill’s, and he just asked for it again! Add a layer of any fruit on top of the batter. I’ve done strawberries, then a pear one, once a combination one, and this one pictured has mandarin oranges. Whatever I feel like! They all…
