Welcome to my cookbook! I have several recipes that folks have asked for, so I decided to post them here. Some are included in the ward cookbook, but many of them are things I found after that was published so I wanted a place to put them so my family had access to them. I'll add to this as I find things that I think need to be shared. If you have a recipe you'd like to add, let me know and I'll add you as a contributor.

Skinny cake


Makes 12 Servings

  • 1 (18.25 oz) box moist-style cake mix
  • 1 (12 oz) can soda (some web sites say to use diet soda, which makes sense, but I didn't do the math.  For diabetics it would be better, though.)


Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, whisk cake mix with soda until smooth. Pour into the pan. Bake until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Slice and enjoy!

This cake is a lot denser than a cake made with the oil and eggs normally used.  You can use any cake with a complimentary soda flavor.  Chocolate cake is supposed to be good with cola or cherry cola, white or yellow cake is good with mountain dew or cream soda, etc.

The serving size is good, too.  Not like the sliver you're normally allowed.
