        KAHLUA TRIFLE DESSERT;

        1 pkg. Duncan Hines devils food cake, baked according to directions


        1 larger box of chocolate instant pudding mix

        1 3/4 cups cold whole milk

        3/4 cup Kahlua

        2 medium size cool whips

       
        Bake the cake mix according to box directions in any size pan you want.  For the pudding......mix the cold milk, pudding mix, and kahlua together;

        and let it set.  Mix it real good till thickened, and set in fridge.

        For the layered look:  Take the cake and pull it apart in little pieces, bite size., and put some on the bottom of a bowl or dish.   Then, add some pudding to cover the cake.  Then add some cool whip.  Keep repeating over and over until dish is filled.  If you want, (we do it) add slivered chocolate bar and a few maraschino cheries on top.  This is optional and up to you.  Let it sit in the fride overnight

Grams Sour cream pound cake.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a bundt pan

Ingredients:

1 pkg Duncan Hines moist deluxe BUTTER recipe GOLDEN cake mix.
4 large eggs
8 ounces of sour cream
1/3 cup vegtable oild (wesson preferred)
1`/4 cup water
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar (regular granulated)  I use 1/2 cup myself)

Mix everything together well with a mixer.  Pour it into the bundt pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes.  Insert a knife.  when it comes out dry, cake is done..  Remove cake and cool to room temp.  You can also put in fridge overnight before you frost it.

Wedding cake frosting:
i box confectioners sugar
1 to 2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
1 cup of crisco shortening. 
A tiny bit of water if needed.

Mix all ingredients together on low speed till its all wet then mix on high till smooth.  You do not want it watery.  You want it good and thick.  You sometimes may need to add maybe a TBSP of water.  Make it to the consistency that yuou prefer.  Its better on thicker side

Remove cake from bundt pan, and just ice it all over including the inside center.
NOTE:  YOU CAN ADD IF YOU WANT TO THE ICING.......almond extract............lemon extract...........rum extract........peppermint exztrace
t.  But its best plain as I wrote it above or with ALMONT EXTRACT.  This cake is awesome and enjpoyed every holiday or any time of the eyar.   If I make it at Christmas time, I add red food coloring to the icing.  Sometimes I add green to the cake mix and red to icing or vice versa.  Other times I just go by the directions above.  This cake will go quickly.

This is a favorite of the entire family

             Oven Sweet Potato Fries

"Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray, and cut
washed potatoes into sticks (don't peel) or 1/2
inch chunks, (if you prefer.) Toss in a bowl with
olive oil until lightly coated. Spread potatoes on
a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper
(optional) and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes
or until soft and lightly browned (turn once after
20 minutes.)"

You can do the same thing with regular potatoes and put seasoned salt on them (optional)
