One Cake Mix, Endless PossibilitiesToday I am adding another recipe to my Cake Mix Recipe Collection. I am using the same pre-packaged gluten free yellow cake mix that I use in all my cake mix recipes. If you recall from previous posts, this is the only cake mix I can purchase locally. It is simply amazing that one little box of cake mix can create this heavenly coconut infused masterpiece.
When I originally made this cake I poured most of the batter into a 9" square dish for a Church Pot Luck. The recipe is enough batter for a 9 x 13 pan but I needed to make sure it turned out good enough for non gluten free eaters. For some reason I always bring an un-tried gluten free dish to these pot lucks ~ lol. I don't know why I do this but I needed to try the cake out first. Besides, its just cruel to make an awesome cake and not let anybody in the house eat any. SO......I used the remaining batter in a small 8" round cake pan for our family to try out as dessert. Once the whole "trial" cake disappeared in an ugly display of sugar induced greed, my family then declared that the second one CAN NOT go to church the next morning. I giggled with delight, but they meant it! It was that good. So. Incredibly. Good. One taste leaves you addicted.
