German Chocolate Cake



When it comes to cake, German Chocolate is my favorite. When Mike and I were married, he told me he did not like coconut so a German Chocolate Cake was something he would not eat. Now this is the cake as requests for his birthday each year! Give it a try, it may become one of your favorites as well!









German Chocolate Cake
from Lion House Dessert Cookbook

Cake:

1 pkg white or yellow cake mix
1 pkg (3 oz) instant chocolate pudding
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
3 egg whites, beaten stiff

* A cake mix already contains pudding mix may be used. Prepare according to package directions.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan. Set aside. Combine cake mix, flour and milk and beat according to cake package directions. Fold in egg whites. Spoon into prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Frost with Coconut Pecan Frosting.

Coconut Pecan Frosting:

3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cup flaked coconut
1 cup pecans, chopped

Combine yolks, sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 12-15 minutes. Be careful to stir mixture constantly or it will burn. Add coconut and pecans. Stir until thick enough to spread. Makes 3 cups.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
