El's Fabulous Recipes
My husband
talked me into creating a webpage of my own,
so I am
putting together some recipes that I have. I do a lot of experimenting
in the
baking category, so I decided to share some of these recipes
with anyone
who would like to experiment on their families.
When we
have our family gatherings, I am always asked to bring one of
their
favorites with me. They usually devour it, so I seldom bring any home.
I hope
you will enjoy my recipes as much as my family enjoys them.
I don't
have much time to play on this computer, so my additions to this page
will be
when ever I am able to make the time to do so.

| 1/2 stick butter
1 lb. powdered sugar (dash salt) 1/2 cup cocoa (optional) 2 Tbs. milk 1 tsp. vanilla |
| Cream butter, 1/2 sugar, and salt. Add cocoa and 1 Tbs. milk. Cream.
Add sugar and milk til the consistency is right and then beat at mixer's highest speed. Frost cake immediately. |
This is a traditional family recipe. I think my grandma got it off
of a
Hellman's label forty years ago. It is very dark, very rich, and
requires *lots* of milk and or ice cream to wash it down.
It is a fragile cake, and so doesn't lend well to layers (it's possible,
but you must be very careful). I usually make it in a 9x13x2 pan
and
frost it in the pan so that it's easy to transport to family gatherings.
It is also a very easy cake. You can make it in one bowl with a wooden
spoon. Be sure to use real mayonnaise (not light) and cold water
so
that the mayonnaise doesn't separate.
The mayonnaise is the shortening and the eggs.
