Have you ever been asked by someone if you would like to try a very simple recipe?
A couple of days ago, I was at the grocery store and I was approached by this little lady. She asked if I did any baking. I said yes and she told me she had a very simple recipe for a great layer cake.
Spray a layer pan, 9x13. Layer the bottom of the pan with mini marshmallows. Prepare a cake mix package, I used a yellow cake mix. Pour over the marshmallows. DO NOT STIR TOGETHER. Then open a can of pie filling and spoon on top of the cake mix. Put in oven to bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Oh laa-laa! What a cake!! and so simple!!! The marshmallow comes to the top and the pie filling goes to the bottom. A pleasant surprise.
Have you had anything like this happen to you and could you share your recipe?

Wow! No, I have never had anyone who out of the blue came up to me like that if they weren't being paid by the store to market particular products, anyway. But, what a great baking idea!!! I'm not much on baking because I don't eat a lot of cake, but that sounds way simple and you did it and proved it works, so I'm thinking, since I DO like Black Forest Cake, it might be worth trying with chocolate cake mix and cherry pie filling! Yeah - that does sound good. Or, spice cake mix with apple pie filling. Hmmmmm - I sense a trend here!!!

HI jerzgirl,
This recipe is way simple!! I like your ideas of chocolate cake mix with cherry pie filling, and spice cake with apple pie filling. I'll have to try these, just cuz they sound good!!

My favorite recipes are simple ones. Don't know if that says anything about me or not (LOL), but the simpler the better. After I posted that, I shared the recipe idea with some friends and thought the even peach pie filling might work with the spice cake. Yeah - when I go shopping again for me and Mom, I think I'm going to pick up a couple cake mixes and some cherry pie filling. We already have apple pie filling on hand. Mom's a big cake fan.

When people know that you are a contest cook, they have a tendency to give you all kinds recipes to try! :)

Hi Peaceful,
Very nice site there, thank you. I am always looking for something or other, I'm sure it will come in handy. I am of Cajun descent, and love cajun recipes. I was born in Louisiana, but moved to Washington state a long time ago, so I horde cajun reciped that I find. I love the spiciness of these dishes, and their simplicity. It is always an adventure when I try new recipes, and I love it.
Have a nice day..
