This is fairly easy to make. Some people just make a regular yellow cake from the box, ie. Betty Crocker or Haines. I like more the homemade taste.
Cream Cake (Tres Leches)
Yield: 10 to 12 servings
Ingredients:
The Cake:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
¼ cup milk
1 cup all-purpose pour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
The Cream Filling:
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
The Frosting:
1 cup whipping cream
Method:
The Cake:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites unti1 fluffy. Add the sugar gradually and mix well. Blend in the egg yolks, one at a time. Alternately blend in the milk, flour, and baking powder. Add the vanilla and blend well. Pour into a greased, square baking pan, and bake 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and pierce it with a fork, making little holes evenly over the surface. Set aside to cool.
The Cream Filling:
In a large bowl, mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well blended. Slowly pour the mixture over the top of the cake.
The Frosting:
Beat whipping cream until stiff. Spread over cake.
Put in the frig and serve cold. Some people do add liquor to taste, such as brandy or rum.

Tried dessert from this board and others sm
Made the Jello/cream cheese/pineapple dessert from the Gab Board (looks good), son bringing pumpkin pie, bought a Mrs. Smith apple crisp, made pumpkin bread,choc. chip cookies and brownies.(Whipped cream on the side, of course)
Not hashbrowns but a quick dessert
1 box angelfood cake mix
1 15 oz. can of crushed pineapple
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with a baking spray.
In a mixing bowl, mix the cake mix (only) with the can of crushed pineapples. Pour into baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes - until top is beginning to brown. Let cool, cut, enjoy. This is a weight-watchers recipe, I believe.
OK...you can only eat 1 kind of dessert for a year, what will it be?
Mine is cheesecake!
Easy dessert - pistachio pudding.....
1 box of pistachio pudding (instant)
Add can of crushed pineapple w/juice and mix.
Add 3 cups miniature marshmallows and mix
Add 12-15 oz container of Cool Whip and mix
Better if made the day before
Poll: What's your ultimate favorite dessert.
Dark chocolate ganache covered wafers with chocolate truffle filling, drizzled with raspberry sauce and topped with fresh raspberries and gold leafing.
Hey Chillie, your dessert sound delectable!
Not a dessert. And what is it with all this canned stuff. People use fresh these days. Cook a sm
chicken breast, for goodness sake. Do not open a can and serve it to guests.
Rolls, dessert (some kind of soft pie or chocolate pie). Instead of potato salad, maybe sm
mashed potatoes since they are edentulous. Green bean casserole was a great idea. Corn casserole too is yummy.
Asparagus and/or peas with mint are nice side veggies. Have everyone bring a dessert

Yummy!
I forgot about twice baked potatoes. I also have my own take on that idea and we havent' had it in a while. Mine works well with leftover mashed potatoes too, which to me are always hard to re-invent.
I mix the potatoes with the usual butter, S&P, a little milk to loosen, then add sour cream, chopped bacon (which I store in the freezer pre-cooked leftover from breakfast), then I add chunked cheddar cheese and sometimes mashed roasted garlic if I have it. Mix all this up, toss in a 13x9 or whatever is closest in size, but extra butter on top and toss in the oven to heat and get a little brown on top. Its also great to make ahead and have waiting in the fridge. :)
I think I might try your mushroom addition, sounds delicious!
YUMMY..and
my fav. kind~ quik & EZ
Thanks for this! I will try this tonight....yummy. nm

That sounds yummy, I'm going to
 try it. I am assuming that would be the Italian dressing in the bottle that is not creamy (white?), but the one that likes like oil with seasonings or is it the powdered kind in the packet?
Oooooh . . . that looks yummy
Wish You Were Here!!! (been a long time since I had a weekend like that) LOL!

Yummy! And I just gobbled down McD's UGH!
LOL. Enjoy the smell and the meal. I deserve to have junk if I am too lazy to make the good stuff. Thanks for the image in my mind. Much better than a sloppy quarter pounder. :)
That sounds yummy!. . sm
I might have to try some! Is this a new product? I will look for it the next time I go shopping. Thanks!
Yummy Recipes
I bought two Foster Farms Chickens, on sale, not over $5.00, well I got three meals out of those two chickens, cut each up for frying the best parts, made chicken soup with the less desirable parts, back, etc. adding my last frozen pack of tomatoes from DH garden last summer, and other veggies, bow tie pasta, sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley and parmesan, Yummie. The other two packages, one will be oven fried chicken, recipe on breadcrumb container and the other from my Campbell's Soup Cookbook, something or other. Not bad for the price!
that sounds yummy!
And being as I'm from the Southwest, one additional layer for me would be green chili.
yummy food
chicken/dumplings, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, pecan pie, hand-cranked ice cream, tea-cake cookies

Yummy! Who cares how much butter she uses?
She's rich ($$$$$$$$$) at this point.... :) Not another show featuring cardboard and fake cooking sprays? Do we really need another show for "light eating"? Our elders lived long lives on lard...... :) Keep on cookin', just don't eat that heavy stuff every day/night! Enjoy.... 
You should see her cookbook! Everything sounds yummy, but you would put

Pitiful union busters. Wal-Mart offers absolutely no respect to their workers, and obviously no screening that covers use of at least understable exchange of language context and grammar...tsk, tsk.

I hope that the purposeful mistakes in my last post were caught, unlike the cake that the poor lady received.
It is "understandable" and "its" with reference to Wal-Mart.
Thanks for the vent.
stuffed mushrooms - thanks - sounds yummy! nm

TY - sounds yummy! I wish there was a recipe board! nm

Carrot cake
If the recipe asked for canned pureeed carrots the canned it should be. I am sure the recipe made allowances for the salt
Wal-mart Cake
Keep in mind this actually really did happen!!!! This is someone who was moving from a claims office.
Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:
Walmart Employee: "Hello 'dis Walmart, how can I help you?"
Customer: " I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week."
Walmart Employee: "What you want on the cake?"
Customer: "Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that "We will miss you".
Walmart Employee: "Dat all? Okay, Bye."
Cheeseburger cake??
I am having a surprise 40th jimmy buffett theme party for my husband on saturday. Does anyone have any idea how to decorate a cake to make it look like a cheeseburger? what kind of things would i use, i.e, fondant, etc. I have a general idea of yellow/chocolate cake but all I can find online is pictures of a cake but not how to actually construct it.
THanks for your help!
Coffee cake
Has anyone here ever made homemade coffee cake? Would you mind sharing the recipe?
recipe for the cake? nm

Do you have a yellow cake mix?
You could do a pineapple upside down cake. Add about 5 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar to the pineapple. Spread on the bottom of a well-greased baking dish, pour the cake batter over it. You could even go crazy and add a dash of rum to the pineapple before you bake it.
dumb ? but would the dry cake sm
mixture recipe work with canned pumpkin pie mix? Love pumpkin, have cans of one-pie and a can of crushed pineapple w/the cake mix. Sounds like it would be very "mush". Just thought I'd ask!
