Pumpkin Spice Cake

Posted by Crystal Kellner Monday, December 11, 2017

My husband ran to the store for me this weekend, and informed me he has stocked me up on pumpkin! I think these were a hit! He is sure I will need to make more Pumpkin Spice Cakes. These individual cakes are a perfect size for serving during the holidays.

This is an easy two ingredient dessert. You can't go wrong with this dessert. All you need is spice cake mix, and can of pumpkin. I found this recipe at the Pampered Chef website when I was looking for ideas how to use their brownie pan.

Mix the two ingredients and pour into the brownie pan sprayed with cooking oil.

Place in 325-degree oven for 20-22 minutes. Wait 5 minutes, then transfer cakes to a cooling rack, and top with frosting or powdered sugar.

Crock Pot Lava Cake

Posted by Crystal Kellner Wednesday, February 15, 2017

The weekend before Valentine's Day, Macie pulled out a farm magazine, and told me, "Papa wanted me to make this." She had it saved in her room, so she wouldn't forget. She had it hidden in her closet. Maybe because that was the easiest place to find it. If you can imagine a pre-teen room, that is exactly what her's looks like.

She was in charge of this recipe, and I was excited to see her try a crock-pot recipe!

This was my chance to watch her find all the ingredients (I hoped we had all of the ingredients!) This is a simple recipe, so you will most likely have all ingredients.

This recipe was tucked inside the February edition of The Progressive Farmer magazine. Between features on irrigation and new generation farmers, is a recipe about sugar, and lava cake. Recipe credit goes to Rachel Johnson, Stupid Good Food.

I am sure someone licked the spatula, who can resist!?

After a couple hours in the crock pot, it looked delicious! Very easy dessert recipe! She called papa to come down for dessert, she had a surprise for him!

Angel Food Cake with Homemade Carmel Icing

Posted by Crystal Kellner Wednesday, April 13, 2016

Things are quiet around here. Like the calm before the storm. Spring. Plant 2016

It's been fairy cool, and soil temperatures have remained pretty cool. No one around here is in a big hurry to get in the fields.

We celebrated Dave's "BIG 40th" a couple weeks ago. I really thought I would have a big party for him. I did surprise him for his 30th, and our 10th anniversary. No party this year. It was probably the best since he wasn't feeling the best.

His favorite cake is angel food. So while he's home with a sick kid, and not feeling the best himself, he made his own cake!

He told me I was in charge of the icing. I knew he would want the homemade caramel icing.

You can't walk away from this project. It needs your attention. We have featured this caramel icing recipe when we made Angel Food Cupcakes.

The end result is delicious and fabulous, and you wonder why you don't make angel food cake every week!

Are you waiting for the recipe? I could post about 40 pictures of this cake or make a movie. Macie helped take pictures. Lots of help from the family in the kitchen.

Grandma Lois Caramel Frosting

Ingredients:

2 tsp. Margarine (or butter)

2/3 cup Brown Sugar

1/3 cup Evaporated Milk

1-2 cups Powdered Sugar

Directions:

Bring to a boil, constantly stirring. Remove pan from heat, and set aside.

Stir in 1 tsp vanilla.

Stir in enough powdered sugar to make spreadable. Immediately pour over cake.

banana cake Chocolate dessert recipe

Easy Cake-Mix Banana Bread

Posted by Crystal Kellner Thursday, December 11, 2014

My daughter loves banana bread! The last batch of banana bread I made, I caught her sneaking bites of bread all day long! Boys came home from hunting and it was all gone!

She runs in the kitchen, grabs a bite, then jets back to the living room.

She has been working on her "sneaking & hiding" skills for quite some time. A few years ago, when she was a 2-year-old "little helper" when we picked strawberries every spring. I remember she loved to help out in kitchen then! I was busy making freezer jelly, but stepped out of the kitchen for a minute. When I came back, I caught her picking strawberries off the trays, and transferring them to my pocket in my apron. I quietly left the room, and came back with the video camera. That one is in the vault!

This time I decided to make a different type of banana bread. Add some chocolate chips. It should be called the perfect banana bread. It's easy, too!

Easy Cake-Mix Banana Bread

PRINT RECIPE

1 box Betty Crocker™ yellow cake mix

1/3 cup oil

3 eggs

1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (3 to 4 medium)

2 cups milk chocolate chips

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Generously spray 2 (8x4-inch) loaf pans with cooking spray; lightly flour pans.
Select your favorite banana bread recipe variation from those below.
In large bowl, beat all ingredients above plus ingredients from selected variation below until well mixed. Divide batter evenly between pans.
Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of loaves comes out clean and inside of cracks do not look wet. Cool 15 minutes in pans on cooling racks. Remove loaves from pans to cooling racks.
