Chocolate Chip Cake
1 box cake mix
(white or yellow) | 1/4 cup of oil |
| 2 eggs | 1 sm box of chocolate pudding
(cooked variety)
cook and let cool, |
mix all the ingredients in mixing bowl,
if you don't let the pudding cool,
be careful or you will cook the eggs.
Pour into cake pan.
Put Nestles Chocolate Chips on top,
spreading evenly then sprinkle with powdered sugar,
I use a small sieve to sprinkle it
Bake at 350 degrees for approx 40 min,
insert tooth pick (avoiding the chocolate chips)
and when it comes out clean cake is done.
Let cool and serve, needs no garnish
Aunt Carrie's Fruit Cake
| 1 pound candied cherries | 1 pound candied pineapple |

1/2 pound real butter (softened)
*do not use oleo* | 1/2 ounce real vanilla extract |
| 1/2 ounce lemon extract | 2 cups self-rising flour |
| 1 cup sugar | |
Grease and flour a large tube pan.
Set aside.
Into a very large bowl
cut candied fruit into small pieces,
add flour and mix by hand,
separating fruit pieces by using flour to dust each,
making sure they are all separated.
Add pecan meat and mix again.
Set aside
In a medium size bowl beat sugar and butter together.
Add 1 egg at a time until all are well beaten.
Add in extracts and blend.
Pour over dry mixture and blend with hands
to make sure all is moist.
Drop by handfuls into tube pan,
try to distribute it evenly
Do Not PACK down the mixture.
(it will settle itself)
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes
(**when cake is done it will pull away from sides of pan**)
Cool and serve. Keeps in a sealed cake container for 1 week.
Can be frozen for later use, defrost at room temperature.
Can also be cooked in several different size pans for gifts.
I like to cook this in small loaf pans and give as gifts.
Latkes
To make about 12 latkes pancakes.
| 5 medium sized potatoes | 3 tablespoons flour |
| 1 teaspoon salt | 1/4 teaspoon black pepper(optional) |
| 1 egg | Oil for frying |
Peel the potatoes
grate them in the food processor or by hand.
Place the grated potatoes in a sieve
and allow all liquids to strain out.
Squeeze to make sure all liquids have been strained.
(the less liquid, the latkes will be more crisp and crunchy).
Place potatoes in a bowl,
add flour, salt, pepper and egg.
Mix all well.
Heat oil to high temp.
Take a tablespoon of the mixture and place in hot oil.
Add more latkes and continue to fry
till all latkes are brown on both sides.
Take out and place on paper towel to absorb oil.
Serve hot with sour cream or applesauce.
** 1 grated onion can be also added to the mixture.
You can make them ahead in time and
warm them in the oven at low heat temp.
