I finally got to taste the Mountain Dew Cake today and all I can say is that it is GOOD! I’m not sure if it tastes like Mountain Dew (which is fine by me because I don’t typically drink it), but with 4 eggs this moist cake was a real crowd pleaser!
The next recipe on my list (also using a box cake mix) is…so easy….so much fun…and absolutely delicious!!!
I went to a wonderful party this weekend. A friend of mine turned 1 year old! His mother is amazing in the kitchen, and one of the sweets she had on the tables was this Cake Batter (or Birthday) Puppy Chow. I immediately looked up the recipe online and found an occasion to make it. What’s funny is that I found the recipe on the same blog page that a coworker mentioned this week.
The sad thing was that I had ONLY 3 SQUARES of vanilla almond bark left.
But…I was easily able to adjust the remaining ingredient amounts because I was SO EXCITED to make this recipe.
It turned out even better than I remember, although it could always use a few more sprinkles.
This puppy chow is as addicting as the white chocolate variety, but the use of yellow cake mix and powdered sugar is GENIUS!
I liked it so much that I decided to give it a try using regular Baker’s chocolate.
The result was good, but not nearly as good as the vanilla cake batter version. Although I think it would be super fun to try it with a chocolate cake mix. We’ll save that for the next round of Fun with Cake Mixes!!!
I still had some leftover Mt Dew and yellow cake mix in the house. I considered making a Yellow Cake Mix Dip but knew that I would most likely eat the entire thing, which at 9PM is not the healthiest way to end the day. Instead, I remembered that you can easily make a cake with a can of coke and a cake mix. I decided to mix the rest of the yellow cake mix (about half) with 6 oz of Mt. Dew to make Mini Mountain Dew Cupcakes.
I even had a little extra glace leftover for one fancy mini cupcake.
