This recipe is a follow up of this discussion: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1208406.aspx#up_mlV4CiPUCpWo8Erl%2fErkFJhE5PhXyg1PSwBQ%2fx6YyLc%3d I will try to post one new recipe for baking in a can each day of the week for the upcomming week. I am not sure about the weekend. Just keep checking for my new post. I will begin the title to each one with "Baking In A Can" and I will give the Recipe number and the recipe name. I think this will make it easier for you to make sure you do not miss a recipe. Note: I added the original line about the broom straw. Years ago that is how cooks knew if cakes and breads were done. They used a broom straw. I can remember this well as child when I was growing up. This is my favorite of all the recipes in a can. I have written it up so you can give it as a gift to be made by the receipent. To Make it now, all you have to do is read the instructions and follow them except putting them in a ziploc bag as that part will not be necessary. I hope you enjoy the recipes. Be sure to tell me how you like them. Now for the recipe of the day: Honey Bun Cake Mix in a Can 3/4 cup yellow cake mix 1 TBSP brown sugar 1 TBSP finely chopped pecans 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1.
