"Probably one of the best cakes you've ever made" said Hubby. :)) I was looking for a spice cake recipe using a cake mix and this was it. I used Spice Cake Mix instead of Yellow Cake Mix. I put in one Tbs Pumpkin Spice instead of two teasp. For the icing I mixed a dollop of cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla, almond extract and milk. I also added sprinkle of Chai Spice to it. The icing was the weak link in that I had lumps of cream cheese in it but obviously that's not the recipe's fault. This cake has a solid texture that I love without being heavy. It's a little fluffier than I'd like right now - I like a pound cake texture - but I bet the second day it'll firm up even more. I'm looking forward to making it again real soon. Update: I've made it again this time following the recipe with the Yellow Cake Mix and the Butterscotch Pudding. I still put in 1 Tbs Pumpkin Pie Spice though since we like our spices. And I was generous with the pumpkin puree too - about 1/4 cup more than the 1 cup in the recipe. I followed another reviewer with the modified penuche icing and it was amazing! I am addicted to this cake now with the new icing. Bring to boil 1.5 Tbs butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar packed, stirring. Cool slighly and mix in 2 Tbs milk. Then mix in gradually until you have the consistency you want, up to 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar. Pour over cake. Delicious!!!!!

Nice orange-y bite with tartness. I used orange craisins and also put a couple drops of orange extract in the batter. I used orange peel from a spice jar and it was quite potent. I was too lazy to add walnuts but next time I make it I will. I think that will definitely add to the rating. Overall, a very good cookie for times when you want a different taste. I'm just more into fudge-y chewy chocolate type cookies than cakey/bread-y fruit cookies.

13 cups cubed bread?!! There's no way my crockpot could fit that much in there. I used a box and a half of Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing cornbread which is more like 5 cups. So I halved the butter and liquid. I also added craisins which really added to the taste. The chicken meat was 3 bone in chicken breasts I just cooked in vegetable broth for a few hours then added the mixed dressing on top of it. I had no idea what "escalloped chicken" was but basically it turned out like chicken and stuffing.
