Pudding Poke Cake





1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix


2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix


1 cup confectioners' sugar


4 cups milk





DIRECTIONS


Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions for one 9x13 inch cake. Remove cake from oven. Poke holes at once down through cake to pan with the round handle of a wooden spoon. Holes should be at 1 inch intervals.





Combine the pudding mix with the confectioners' sugar and gradually stir in the milk. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for not more than 1 minute. Do not over beat. Quickly, before pudding thickens, pour about 1/2 of the thin pudding evenly over the warm cake and into the holes. (This will make the stripes in the cake.) Allow the remaining pudding to thicken slightly then spoon over the top, and spread to frost the top of the cake. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.





* You can use different flavors of cake and pudding.


** Prepare cake and while that is baking mix the pudding together.
Easiest and yummiest recipe ever! Rice Crispy Cakes......better than the bought kind!





Ingredients:


4oz butter/marge


4oz marshmallows (colour doesn't matter)


4oz toffees/caramels


A box of Rice Crispies





Method:


Melt the butter/marge in a pan on a low heat, then add the toffees/caramels, stirring every so often. When melted, *** the marshmallows and stir. When everything is mixed together, take the pan off the heat.


Gradually add a couple of handfuls or large spoonfuls of rice crispies and stir in to the pan mixture, thoroughly coating the grains as you go.


Continue this - the mixture will coat more cereal than you expect!


Then, once you're happy, place the mixture in a greased tin or glass dish, wait until cool and place in the fridge.


When you're ready to serve it, bring out the dish from the fridge for ten mins or so before you cut it in to squares or whatever shapes you wish, because it will need to get up to room temp, otherwise it's impossible to cut!





For a variation, try drizzling melted chocolate on the top before you place it in the fridge, or put dried fruit in to the mixture with the rice crispies.





Good luck and enjoy, even if this is not suitable, it's fun and yummy as a treat!!! :-)
The perfect peach cobbler:

Deluxe Sugar Cookies





1 cup butter, Do Not Substitute


1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar


1 egg


1 tsp vanilla


1/2 tsp almond extract


2 1/2 cups flour


1 tsp baking soda


1 tsp cream of tartar


Granulated sugar





Mix thoroughly the butter, confectioners' sugar, egg, vanilla, and the almond extract. Blend in the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours. Heat the oven to 375 F. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half to 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured cloth covered board. ( I use a lightly floured cutting board). Cut into desired shapes. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the edges. Amount depends on the size of cookie cutter used.
You could buy a premade cake to use for this one and omit the kahlua, or course. could just use chocolate syrup inplace of it. Pretty, quick and simple and delish.

Peach Caramel


Drain a medium tin of sliced peaches, chop lightly and arrange in the bottom of a medium dish. Sprinkle with flaked almonds. Next beat 1/2 pint of double cream until stiff , put over the almonds, smoothing with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour but longer if possible Then sprinkle over a good layer of brown sugar and put under a hot grill to caramelise. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn. A small blow torch does this well. It's really scrummy
Rich Chocolate Mousse

Extra Thick Double Cream


Jar of Chocolate Spread (any make)


Sprig of mint

What I do is put about 5 ice cream sandwiches on a plate and spread icing or chocolate mousse over it. then I stack 5 more and spread them with chocolate mousse or icing. Once it is completly stacked, I cover it with chocolate mousse or icing(whichever you prefer).When I am done I top it with either sprinkles,cherries or strawberries.and store it in the freezer. Delish!

Rice pudding.





Take some leftover rice or cook some rice. Heat it in a pot with some milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla until it'si creamy. To make it creamier use half cream and half milk.
Eton mess:





Whipped cream mixed with broken meringue set in layers, alternating with either raspberries or strawberries, or a mixture of both.





Couldn't be simpler.
I realy think at 13 your daughter should be asking for help on her own instead of having her mother do it.
