[frozen-assets] Favorite Cake Mix Combinations? and Question on baking it?

 

I've been reading about the variations on using cake mix to make muffins (or cakes). Just wondering what your favorite combinations (cake mix flavor and/or add-ins) are?

I've seen these mentioned:

chocolate mix + canned pumpkin

spice mix (or gingerbread) + canned pumpkin (or applesauce)

any other favorites or suggestions? What about add-ins? I suppose you could add-in dried fruit, nuts, chocolate bits, etc...

I tried the gingerbread + applesauce with cool whip (or ice cream) on top. It was a big hit with everyone(DH, DS (4yo), my Dad, and myself).

I would like to try some more, but wondering what everyone else likes?

I can't find canned pumpkin in my stores just yet - but I would imagine it would be making an appearance before too much longer...

QUESTION ON COOKING THE CAKE MIX:

I used Betty Crocker Gingerbread cake & cookie mix and added applesauce. Directions said to cook at 350 for 30-35 minutes in 8-inch glass pan (which is what I used). I cooked it for 35 minutes. The toothpick looked like it was clean. I let the cake sit for a few minutes (I didn't time it), but when I went to cut it - it was still a messy cut - with cake coming out on the knife. Did I just not cook it long enough? Does it take longer with applesauce in place of the egg & oil? Or would just sitting longer have made a difference with cutting? It was still a little warm when I cut it... Other times when I ate it (after it had cooled off) - it was already pre-cut but didn't have trouble sticking together or anything...

Thanks.
Berit
