Verla,.Il (06:52:24) : Swirled Ice Cream for Showers.

1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream
1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream softened and mixed with food coloring of your choice.

After coloring the second 1/2 gallon of ice cream, refreeze it.

Then spoon scoops of the colored ice cream in a 9 x 13 Pyrex alternated with scoops of plain vanilla ice cream.

Freeze overnight.

When serving scoop it out dishes and the colors will be mixed.

Kelly~WA (10:52:38) : Chocolate Gravy

1 cup sugar
3 heaping tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons Hershey's cocoa
2-1/2 cups water

Mix dry contents well
Add water
Bring to a boil
Boil until thick

Serve over warm biscuits

Carolyn-NJ (11:37:57) : Even though this is from a boxed cake mix, it is one of my favorite chocolate cake recipes. Beware, though, that you'd better be a chocoholic - it is very, very rich. But I sure hope I can still whip one up once I get to heaven!

SUPREME SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE

1 box Duncan Hines Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 small box instant chocolate pudding
4 eggs
cup oil
1 cup water
to pint sour cream
6-oz. bag chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Mix all ingredients except the chocolate chips until smooth and creamy. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into a well-greased and floured Bundt or tube pan. Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes. Remove and let cool. Refrigerate if keeping more than a day or two (it won't last that long). I have served this plain with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream but most of the time I also add still more chocolate by making the following glaze to drizzle over the top:

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons Hershey's Cocoa (not instant)
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
teaspoon vanilla

Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat; add cocoa and water, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Add corn syrup. Do not boil. Remove from heat; blend in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. About cup glaze. Immediately drizzle over bundt cake.

Note: Hubby likes to pop a slice in the microwave just a few seconds to re-melt the chocolate chips.

Carolyn-NJ (06:57:02) : Right off the Duncan Hines box - except for the lemon rind!

LEMON POUND CAKE

1 package Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
1 package (4-serving size) lemon instant pudding
4 eggs
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons lemon rind

Glaze
1 cup confectioner's sugar (sifted)
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon rind

Preheat oven to 350 deg. Grease and flour 10" Bundt pan or tube pan.

Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil and lemon rind in large bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350 deg for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. If you have one of those very heavy Bundt pans, take the cake out a little sooner than you would with a light aluminum tube pan - it continues baking. I try not to overbake it to insure a moist cake. Cool in pan 20 minutes. Invert onto serving plate. Cool completely.

Mix glaze, starting with just 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and adding more just a little at a time if needed. You want the glaze to have a little consistency to it so that it will look nice as it drizzles down the sides of the cake.

Carolyn-NJ (09:06:32) : CAROLYN'S COLLECTION OF FAVORITE RECIPES

If you like coconut, you should like this cake. I keep thinking I will try it using a "from scratch" recipe rather than a boxed mix but why mess with a good thing? And everybody loves this cake (if they like coconut). Be forewarned, though, that it is a "wet" cake but I think it is delicious that way. I love trying new cake recipes and friends and family enjoy the experiments but Jack and friend Kathryn never fail to ask, "So when is it you're going to make that coconut cake again?" Ahhhh!

MOIST 'N CREAMY COCONUT CAKE

1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding (4-serving size)
1/3 cup Crisco Oil
1 cup water
4 eggs

1-1/4 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups coconut* (Baker's has a 7-oz bag that is 2 cups), divided
(two cup portions and 1 cup)
1 8-oz. container Cool Whip, thawed

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2" pan. Blend first five ingredients in a large bowl; beat 2 minutes with hand mixer. Bake about 40-45 minutes. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool 15 minutes, then poke holes down through entire surface of cake with a two-pronged meat fork. While cake is cooling, combine milk, sugar and cup of the coconut in saucepan. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 minute. Carefully spoon over warm cake, allowing liquid to soak down through the holes. Cool completely. Fold cup of the coconut into Cool Whip and spread over the cake. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of coconut over the top. Chill overnight. Store leftover cake in the refrigerator.

*This sounds crazy but my mother told me this when I complained about the stringy packaged coconut after being used to Jack's mother grating fresh coconut very finely. To make packaged coconut taste more like fresh, grate it in a blender before measuring. This takes some time and is messy because the coconut sticks to the blades and the bottom of the blender. I just persevere until the coconut looks to be the size I like. Most people would not take the time to do this and it's certainly not necessary but I think it's worth the extra effort.

recipelink.com (07:02:48) : Best Fudge Cake
Newsgroup: rec.food.recipes
From: Micaela Pantke
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 93

2 1/4 c light brown sugar; lightly packed
3 eggs
1 1/2 ts vanilla
2 ts baking soda
1/2 ts salt
2 1/4 c sifted cake flour
1 c dairy sour cream
1 c boiling water

In a large mixer bowl, cream butter until smooth. Add brown sugar and eggs. Beat with mixer till light and fluffy, about 5 min. With mixer on low speed, beat in vanilla and chocolate, then baking soda and salt. Add flour alternately with sour cream, beating on low speed until smooth. Pour in boiling water; stir with spoon until blended. Pour into greased and floured pan(s). Bake 35 minutes or until done.

Makes one 9x13" pan or one 2-layer 9" round cake.

Carolyn-NJ (08:13:22) : For carolyn,ind in case I miss you here tonight...My co-workers loved it when they knew I'd be bringing this to the office. They were my guinea pigs the first time I made it. It must have been 10+ years ago now that it was in the newspaper. The featured author said the cake was served to them in the early '70's at the home of friends they were visiting in Wyoming. It is baked in a jelly roll pan so it makes plenty for all. I had never seen a carrot-type cake with this kind of icing (more of a glaze). I always said I'd make it and ice it with the standard cream cheese icing but never have. This is a very sweet cake.

PINEAPPLE CARROT CAKE
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2-1/2 cups sugar
cup coconut
2 cups grated carrots
3 eggs, well-beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup crushed pineapple, plus juice
1 cup chopped nuts

Blend all ingredients well in a large bowl. Spread in a greased 10 x 15" jelly roll pan and bake in a 350-degree oven for 50-60 minutes*.

Prick the baked cake all over with a meat fork when it comes from the oven, and evenly pour icing over the cake while both still are hot. Best made one day ahead. Some folks like this cake served with a dab of whipped cream too.

*My jelly roll pan is one of those great insulated pans complete with a plastic lid for covering your goodies. It measures more like 10-1/2 x 15-1/2" and the cake in my pan is done in 40-45 minutes.

ICING FOR CARROT CAKE
cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon honey (or white Karo)
1 stick butter (1/4 pound)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract

Combine the buttermilk, sugar, honey and butter in a saucepan and bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the extracts.

Dawn/NYS (05:08:41) : Banana-Nut and Banana-Coconut Cookies

1 stick Crisco-bar or 2 sticks butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1.5 cups white sugar (may substitute brown sugar)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons
1 banana (easier if it's ripe enough that the peel is browning)
1/2 cup nuts (I like walnuts) or 1/2 to 3/4 cup shredded coconut
2.5 cups of flour

Melt Crisco in a large bowl. Mash a banana into it, then add in everything else but the flour. Add nuts for a banana-nut cookie. Or add coconut for the banana-coconut version. Mix and add flour. Add extra flour until the mixture is reasonably firm (doesn't stick very much to your fingers).

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet.
Bake 9-10 minutes at 375 degrees F. Don't overcook -- cookies should come out slightly undercooked for that delicious chewy texture. If you pull them out a little undercooked, you can let them cook just a little more after you pull them out of the oven as they're cooling off on the cookie sheet

Dawn/NYS (05:04:32) : Peel, core and slice 8-10 apples. The slices do not need to be thin. Put as many slices in the crock pot as you can, put the lid on and cook them for a few hours on the "high" setting.

Reduce the setting to "low" and let the apples cook overnight. The next morning, the apples have cooked down by about one/half and are a rich brown. Stir in cinnamon, sugar, and cloves to taste (about 2 tsp of ground cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of ground cloves) and let it cook on "high" for another few hours with the lid off to reduce some of the liquid.
