Crawlin' Cake

Crawlin' Cake

Here is a super-easy, quick recipe for a moist, delicious cake. You start with a couple of packaged ingredients and off you go!  There are so many flavor combinations for this cake, you can just choose whatever you are in the mood for when you make it. You can also start with white cake and cream cheese frosting and add a couple of teaspoons of your favor flavoring(s). I only buy Duncan Hines cake mixes and frostings, I don't care what is on sale!

Crawlin’ Cake

1 box cake mix, any flavor
4 whole eggs
3/4 cup of oil
1 cup of milk
1 can frosting, any flavor

(Note: I used white Duncan Hines cake mix and Chocolate Duncan Hines canned frosting for the cake in the photo. You may use ANY flavor you like!)

Preheat oven to 350º
Break eggs in mixing bowl and beat by hand with whisk. Add the rest of the ingredients except the frosting.
Mix by hand until well-blended. Fold in frosting…yes, put it in the batter!
Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt or tube cake pan. Pour mix in evenly. Place cake pan on a cookie sheet in oven. Bake at 350º for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into thickest part of cake comes out clean.

If you want, only put 2/3 of the can of frosting in the mix. Microwave the remainder until soft and drizzle the rest over the cake after it cools. (I put the whole can of frosting IN the batter.)

Note: Do NOT use a mixer to make this cake. It incorporates too much air into the batter and the cake will overflow in the oven, hence the name “Crawlin’ Cake.”

Don’t open the oven door to check on it because it may fall, and make sure the cake is completely cool before trying to take it out of the pan. If you have greased and floured the pan sufficiently and allowed the cake to cool completely (you may need to run a knife around the edges of the cake, just in case some batter sticks) it should come easily out of the pan. This cake is so moist…and it’s a super-easy cake to make in a hurry!
