Thread: Two questions....

What kind of cake should I make on a low budget for hubby's bday when i'm outta butter and almost outta oil...?

How do I get the black coating on a new wok off? (I tried soaking it in hot soapy water to no avail) I'm thinking of setting it on fire to burn that stuff off

No clue for a cake recipe. Go to recipes.com and search cakes. Good luck.

As far as the 'wok', try just putting it on the stove with a little oil and some water in it and boil. That should loosen it while stirring with a wooden spoon. Again good luck.

so funny was just about to post it i love mayo cakes with pb iceing YUMMY they are so moist!!

Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
2 cups Flour
1 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Cocoa
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 cup Warm Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup Mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together dry ingredients.
Stir in water and vanilla.
Mix in mayonnaise.
Spread batter in greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes.

That is new to me. I have never tried one.

When my daughter was about 10 yrs. old, she made me a birthday cake from scratch. She and her brother tried to make frosting but it didn't work. So the frosted the sheet cake with peanut butter topped with grape jelly. Best cake I ever had.
