Yellow cake mix to spice cake mix

Original cake recipe- Pilsbury

CAKE-
1 c water
1 egg
1/4c flax
1/2c applesauce
1 and ½ t cinnamon
½ t allspice (or nutmeg and 1/4t cloves)
1/4t ginger
1 (1 lb. 2.25-oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix
1/2c raisins

GLAZE-  Southern Food
1/4 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
2 to 4 tablespoons milk or hot water
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract



Preheat oven 350 

Mix- water, egg, flax, applesauce, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger.  Let sit 5 min to help flax absorb water.  Then mix in the cake mix and raisins

I baked in two pans, spray both.  #1 pan a small bundt cake 350 for 30 min and #2 pan a pie pan bake for 23-26min

Glaze for the top of the COOLED cake.  If you add the glaze to a hot cake it will melt.
  1. In microwave melt butter in a bowl. Then add powder sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in medium bowl and mix until fully incorporated. If glaze is not runny enough, add more milk. You will want glaze to be thick enough to hold it\'s \"drip\" on the cake, but runny enough to pour
  2. Using a skewer, poke deep holes all over the top of the cake. Brush the glaze all over the cake in several layers until thickly glazed. Drizzle any remaining glaze on top and let it set before serving..

Glaze variations-
  • 1.  For a richer and creamier glaze or frosting, use heavy cream in place of the milk or water.
  • 2.  For a citrus glaze, substitute orange or lemon juice for the milk or water and vanilla and add about 1/2 teaspoon of finely grated zest.
  • 3.  For a chocolate glaze, increase the butter to 6 tablespoons and melt with 2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate. Reduce the vanilla to 1 teaspoon.
  • 4.  For a butter-rum glaze, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of rum flavoring and omit the vanilla.
  • If glazing a spice cake or cinnamon rolls, sprinkle the glaze with cinnamon-sugar while it's still soft.
