We be jammin’

We had a cookout this weekend for with Joe’s guitar group and I decided to get my bake on.  You know I love to try a new recipe – especially an easy one!  So I was flipping through one of my Church cookbooks.  (Can I just tell you that I love a church cookbook.  So many yummy recipes – these are my number one go to cookbooks when looking for a recipe.  Holler if you need one, my church has a good one!)

First of all I’ve got to show you my setup!  When I went to purchase my ingredients I just *happened* to swing by the Redbox and grabbed “The Kings Speech” for some baking companionship. 

So on to the super simple directions:

Dump German Chocolate cake mix in bowl.  Add 1/4 cup oil.  1 cup water. 3 eggs.

Beat for 2 minutes.  Then add the secret ingredient:

Yep – add the frosting to the cake batter.  Beat 2 more minutes.

Pour in Bundt pan.  Bake 40-50 minutes.

This is what was leftover.  It makes a nice moist cake and I like the addition of bits of coconut and pecans from the frosting.  This is a great cake to make if you have little time! 

Here’s the recipe:  (thanks Blanche Hunt)

Oh and here are some pic’s of all the musicians pickin’

Good times!
