Mississippi Mud Cake






This was really easy to make and fun. They turned out really great and were the hit of teacher appreciation week for my kids teachers. I just wanted to suggest using parchment paper on the tray instead of greasing and flouring. That's what I did and it was great. It helped to make a smooth transition to the cutting board for cutting..

Mississippi Mud Cake

Ingredients for the cake:

  •     1 cup of melted butter (or 1 stick of butter and 1 stick of margarine)
  •     2 cups sugar
  •     1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  •     4 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  •     1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  •     1/8 teaspoon salt
  •     1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  •     1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
  •     1 (10.5-ounce) bag miniature marshmallows

Ingredients for the chocolate frosting:

  •     1 (16 oz) package powdered sugar, sifted
  •     1/2 c. milk
  •     1/4 c. butter, softened
  •     1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa

 Directions:
  1.     Pre-heat oven to 350° degrees
  2.     Whisk together melted butter and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. 
  3.     Stir in flour and chopped pecans. 
  4.     Spread batter (it will be thick) into a greased and floured 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan (or use a deep dish cookie sheet).
  5.     Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Note: Reduce the temperature by 25 degrees if you are using a dark pan.
  6.     Remove from oven; top warm cake evenly with marshmallows. 
  7.     Return to oven, and bake 5 minutes. 
  8.     Make Chocolate Frosting: Beat all ingredients together with an electric mixer until smooth.
  9.     Drizzle Chocolate Frosting over warm cake. 
  10.     Let the cake cool completely before cutting into squares!

HERE'S A TIP FOR THOSE OF YOU IN A HURRY: You can also use 2 (19.5-ounce) packages of brownie mix instead of making the brownies from scratch.

Vanilla Coconut Rice Pudding

I usually end up making too much rice whenever I cook it. I usually make a simple snack of the leftovers by adding some salted butter, or throwing it into Monday night stir-fry when I use up any leftover veggies or whatnot. However, this time I decided to try something different. I wanted to make some rice pudding, but I had no cream or whole milk, and didn't feel like stirring over a pot forever. So I whipped up this simple coconut rice pudding. It uses leftover rice, 2% milk (though whole would be fantastic), and some fresh vanilla because, well, I love vanilla. If you have some coconut flakes, I would highly suggest you garnish with them. Simple and easy, it's a nice little way to use up that extra rice. Vanilla Coconut Rice Pudding Ingredients: 2 cups of whole or 2% milk 1 vanilla bean, insides scraped out 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups of cold cooked rice 1/3 cup of sugar Directions: Combine all the ingredients together in a saucepan and simmer over me...

Creamy Peach Pie

This creamy peach pie is SO light and fluffy. It really is the perfect low-cal dessert for summer. You could even chop up fresh peaches and put them in the pie for extra-peachy flavor! Creamy Peach Pie Ingredients: 1/4 cup water 1 0.3-oz package of sugar free peach Jell-o* 2 6-oz containers of peach yogurt (I used Yoplait Light) 1 8-oz tub fat free cool whip, thawed 1 pre-made graham cracker crust Directions: In a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat water for 45-90 seconds or until boiling. Whisk in Jell-o until dissolved. In a large bowl, whisk together Jell-o mixture and yogurt. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread in crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set. Garnish as desired - I topped mine with frozen peaches and whipped cream. Store in refrigerator. *I have never made this recipe using any other kind of Jell-o except for sugar free. I am not sure if it would work with regular Jell-o because the size of the packages are so much different.
