Let them eat cake!

I have forgotten how delicious and easy cakes can be! The other night I made Dillon my mom's famous "Better Than Sex" cake (also known as "Better than Seminary" cake if you are my baby sister). It was so amazing. It is the most deliciously fatty recipe I've ever used...even worse than my cinnamon rolls. But it sure is worth it. Here's the recipe. It's one of the easiest recipes I've ever used so you've got to give it a try.

Ingredients

1 package yellow cake mix (unprepared)
1 large (5 oz.) pkg. instant chocolate pudding mix (unprepared)
2/3 c. oil
2/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. water
4 eggs
½ pint sour cream
6 oz. chocolate morsels

Combine cake mix, pudding mix, oil, sugar, and water. Add eggs, one at a time, using electric mixer. Stir in by hand the sour cream and chocolate morsels. Pour into well greased Bundt or tube pan. Bake 350° for 50-60 minutes. Let cool before removing from pan. Serve with whipped cream on top. This is one cake that is amazing right away, but is even more amazing the day after.

You can even try mixing different flavors of pudding and cake mixes for more variety. I'm still addicted to the original so if you branch out let me know how it goes.




Today I've been at a workshop all day in Salt Lake, leaving Dillon home by himself. He took on the role of house husband beautifully. At the workshop I opened my email and lo and behold, he baked another cake and sent me a picture of it. We are definitely cake crazy. It looks amazing. I can't wait to try it. It's lemon.
