EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can make different flavors by dividing the cake batter in half or quarters before you add in your extra ingredients. Just cut the measurements for the added ingredients accordingly.

An ice-cream scoop is a good tool to use for filling the cupcake tins with batter.

Very tasty! Was a hit at the Valentine potluck. Followed the advice and used White Chocolate chips and added Carrot Baby food. Took about 25 minutes to bake.

Well, it wasn't until I'd already mixed together ALL of the mix-ins that I realized I was supposed to use only three... I used pecans, *un*sweetened coconut, raisins, dark chocolate mini chips and butterscotch (since that was what I had on hand), and in a separate container, the pineapple. I could either use one and half cups of the mixture and leave out the pineapple, or I could improvise... I quickly changed the cake to my old stand by - 1 box mix (I had and used the carrot), 1 small box of instant pudding (I had cheesecake, but vanilla or butterscotch would have worked well too I'm sure), 4 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 1 cup water; I added in ALL the mix-ins and the pineapple, poured it into an 11"x15" pan, and cooked it about 35 minutes. Delicious! Only thing I would have changed is to not use dark chocolate chips - I think white chocolate and butterscotch would have been better.
