Two great recipes I learned at Weight Watchers meetings: Duncan Hines Devil's food cake mix and a can of pure pumpkin...OR...Duncan Hines Angel food cake mix and a can of crushed pineapple in 100% juice...that's it....mix 2 ingredients together and bake in cake or cupcake form at 350 degrees until cake tester comes out dry. (approx 25-40 minutes for a cake or about 15-18 minutes for cupcakes)...both are equally tasty and healthy treats!What are some really good cake recipes that are easy?

EASY CAKE





1 1/2 cup flour


1 cup sugar


3-4 tablespoons cocoa


1 teaspoon baking soda


1 teaspoon salt


6 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter


1 teaspoon vanilla extract or dark rum


1 tablespoon white vinegar


1 cup cold water





Preheat oven to 350掳F.


Sift dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt) directly into an ungreased 8'; square cake pan. (If you decide not to sift ingredients, cake won't be as light in texture, but will still be good - just be sure that the dry ingredients are mixed well).





Make 3 holes or in the dry mixture which is in the pan.





Into the first hole, pour the oil or melted butter.





Into the second hole, pour the vanilla extract or rum.





Into the third hole, pour the vinegar.





Drizzle the cup of cold water over the entire cake. Stir the mixture together using a fork until combined evenly.





Bake cake at 350掳F for 35-40 minutes.





Run a knife along edges to loosen cake from pan after cooled, or cut into squares and serve directly from pan. Frost with whipped cream or chocolate frosting, if desired, or serve as is.





For a richer cake, beat one egg with enough water to measure 1 cup (and substitute for 1 cup water).

Easy? Duncan Hines.
A really good cake recipe is the chocolate cake one on the back of Hershey's cocoa and there is also a recipe for frosting and its amazing I highly suggest it. If your not looking for chocolate and just want a cake I really good out of the box cake is the butter recipe Duncan's and Hines trust me it tastes really good
My new favorite is French Vanilla cake mix ( Betty Crocker or Duncan Heinz) with strawberry, lemon, or cherry icing. Its WONDERFUL. And if you want something sinfully delicious:


take a chocolate cake or brownie mix, 2 large size caramel filled chocolate candy bars. Pour half the mix in a 12 x 9 cake pan lay the candy bar on top, and pour the rest of the mix on top. Bake according to directions. mmmmm. Not great for calorie counting tho. Enjoy.
