Here are my favorites for the week:
Trader Joe's Premium Olive Oil
This is a really good tasting olive oil, plus it is not expensive at $7.99. But the best part? It comes with a pouring spout, very handy!
Confetti Rim Margarita Glass
We are having a taco bar with all of the fixings at our house this weekend. I realized I don't own margarita glasses and found these at Pier 1. These are perfect for a party!
Duncan Hines Chocolate Almond Coffee Cake
I was looking for a new dessert recipe to make while we have company this weekend. I love devil's food cake and this looks delicious. The best part is it starts with a box cake mix so I don't have to spend all afternoon in the kitchen and miss out on the fun!
Recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 1 tbsp. instant espresso
- ½ cup and 2 tbsp. all purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup chopped almonds
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp. salt
Baking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 13"x9" pan.
- Mix together the cake mix, eggs, milk, instant espresso, and butter.
- Spread evenly into the pan.
- In a separate bowl mix together the flour, sugar, butter almonds and salt.
- Sprinkle almond mixture on top of cake.
- Bake 30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
That's it for today, be back next week!
Goodness that cake sounds so good. I have never baked a cake from scratch and wouldn't want to start now so like that this recipe uses a mix. Dare I make it with us on Weight Watchers?
ReplyDeleteIt is a really good cake. Not sure about WW approved? But it's perfect for company because Troy & I won't eat it all. Ha!
