Instructions: To jazz up cakes for special occasions, try putting a filling in the middle-either streusel (brown sugar, cinnamon, coconut with some flour) or a fruit filling after the cake has been baked. or, try some of the special recipes on the box. the golden butter recipe cake mix has a recipe for a sock it to me cake adding sour cream & pecans that is out of this world. i also have a recipe for the golden butter recipe cake mix where you add 4 eggs, 1/2 c oil, & 1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges with juice. mix it all by hand instead of a mixer. bake in two 8" pans. for the frosting, mix together one 3 oz. pkg of instant vanilla pudding, 8 or 9 oz. cool whip, & a large can of crushed pineapple (drained) mix together & use to frost between the two layers & all over the top & sides. refrigerate until serving. this cake is delicious & looks fancy, yet is quite easy. hope this gives you some ideas. barbara alhadeff, california
