Dessert Recipes for Two

By Trudy (Guest Post)

I don't have a recipe for you but when I bake a regular 9x13 cake, I cut it into 3 sections and freeze two of them and my hubby and eat the other section. Be sure not to ice cake until you take it out of the freezer. This has saved us from wasting good cakes!

Hi I make a regular yellow box cake mix only
with my twist. I grease and flour pan then I
drop chocolate chips in the pan BEFORE I place
batter on top. This way I can just sprinkle with
powdered sugar and not have to frost it.
I freeze half or one if I make it in two small spans.
I freeze in freezer bags or trusty tupperware.
enjoy.

You can make a cake in a larger pan and freeze what you don't need for the time being. Most cakes freeze nicely, even with frosting on them. My grandmother used to freeze cake slices all the time. We looked forward to Mamaw's frozen pieces of cake, after school or in the hot summertime. They can be thawed in a few minutes for when unexpected company drops in.

Thanks, Mom2fur, for you fast response AND for making it chocolate!

This bakes in a 9 x 9 pan so you would have to adjust the cooking time for 8 x 8.

Wacky Cake
(It's wacky because you can mix it in the pan, but I prefer to mix it in a bowl first)
1 1/2 C flour
1 C sugar
1/2 t salt
1 t baking soda
3 T cocoa powder
1 C cold water
6 T vegetable oil
1 T apple cider vinegar
1 t vanilla

(Of course--t is teaspoon and T is tablespoon)

Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in oil, vinegar, vanilla and cold water. Mix until smooth. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Hope you like this!
