I need your help! Compiling an Actual and Huge List of all the wonderful desserts and flavors you can create using our All-American Apple Cake! I know...You're saying....it's an Apple Cake...make it with apples...but the variety of flavors I've already heard about is mind boggling! And I want more ideas!
Lori Cheek, one of our Taste of Gourmet Consultants inspired me this week with her Zucchini Cake - using 4 cups of shredded zucchini she had frozen last summer INSTEAD of chopped apples! Now that was a new one I had NEVER heard! I've tried it too and it is yummy - and healthy - well just because it uses zucchini doesn't exactly make it Health Food....But it's good!
SO-------Please let me know all the ways that YOU have used our Apple Cake...just write a comment and I'll see it! I want a huge list...I already know my own ways of cooking with it but I bet you have LOTS more ideas! Can't wait to see what you come up with! Thanks for your help!
Since I consider Sugar to be one of the major food groups, there's not much that's TOO sweet. So when I decided to make the Apple Cake with pumpkin, I cheated. Instead of the 15oz can of pure pumpkin, I bought the 29oz can of Pumpkin PIE FILLING! I used half the can and it came out even more moist than the original version. It became very much a cake, and now my mother loves it this way with powder sugar glaze on top! Because sugar (just like butter) is our friend!! :)

Laurie - I also TRUST butter and sugar...I know "what they are" and we eat them with CARE...knowing moderation is essential! People can easily overdo anything - especially if it says sugar free or fat free! The Pie Filling variation shows that you can make a "pumpkin bread" with a heavier textue or a "pumpkin cake" - great suggestion! Thanks!
