In conclusion for NaBloPoMo 2010...

Heaven help me; another dessert. But hey, it's mostly what I try that's new. I am pretty set in my main dishes. I dont't try very many new ones of those. But with my husband's craving for sweets I get tired of baking the same old thing.

At any rate, the following was a fun and yummy cake. Enjoy!

Honey Bun Cake

Cake:
1 package yellow cake mix
½ cup water
2/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
8 oz sour cream

Filling:
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

½ cup chocolate frosting

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Beat cake mix, water, oil, eggs, sour cream in large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Batter will be thick. Spread half of batter into greased 9x13 inch pan.

Mix brown sugar, chocolate chips and cinnamon in small bowl, sprinkle over batter in pan. Drop remaining batter by spoonful evenly over cinnamon mixture, carefully spread to cover.

Bake 50-60 minutes or until top quickly springs back when touched lightly in center. Prick surface of warm cake several times with fork. Spread frosting evenly over warm cake, frosting will be thin. Run knife around side of pan to loosen cake. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Store loosely covered at room temperature. 15 servings.

A Fun Cake

Rocky Road Cake

1 box dark chocolate cake mix
1 tub chocolate frosting
2 cups mini marshmallows, divided
1 cup dry roasted peanuts, divided
1 cup miniature Hershey’s kisses

Bake cake according to box directions for a 2-layer cake. Cool completely. Frost as for 2-layer cake. Using ½ cup of mini marshmallows, outline a “road” across top of cake. Coarsely chop half cup of peanuts and “pave” the road. Mix remaining marshmallows, peanuts and all of kisses; press into frosting on cake, covering both top and sides. Serve and enjoy.

This is the recipe I had. My picture looks different than what you'd get if you made this cake, because I used a homemade chocolate frosting recipe. My chocolate frosting was much, much lighter in color than a store bought tub of frosting would be. But I think it tasted much the same, except for the fact that the store bought stuff tastes fake to me. But that's just my palate.

At any rate this is an easy recipe to make for a special occasion.
