Freudian Fantasies

My mother and I were sitting around, drinking wine and watching Dick (starring Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) when I got up to go get another glass of wine.  And somehow . . although I am not quite sure how . . . I ended up baking a cake.

Basically, I used a boxed cake mix and a can of frosting and a cocktail mix.  And I came up with something that was actually so damned delicious that I ate way more of it that I should have . . . and will promptly regret since I am diabetic and all.  LOL!!!

Seriously, I love love love tropical fruits.  Most especially mango and pineapple.  And a while back, my local grocery store had Pillsbury cake mixes and frosting on sale for $0.75 each, so I bought 10 cake mixes and 10 frosting and have been hoarding them.  (It never hurts to have cake and frosting on hand because you never know when you will need to spontaneously bake a cake!!!)

And since I like to experiment and mix things up, I couldn't just make any old cake, I had to do something different.

Here's what you need to make the most amazing Pineapple Mango cake.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 box of Pillsbury Moist Supreme Pineapple cake mix
• (follow package instructions . . . 1 cup of water, 1/3 cup of oil, 3 eggs)
• 1 cup of Master of Mixes Mango Daiquiri mix
• 1 can of Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Vanilla frosting

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mix the cake mix according to the box instructions.
2. Add in one cup of mango daiquiri mix.
3. Bake according to box directions.
4. Open frosting and microwave for 1 minute until drizzling consistency.
5. Drizzle melted frosting over cake and allow to cool.

Please note that the cake will not rise and it will have a VERY moist consistency.  But it tastes so wonderful.  (My mom likes to pour a little half and half over hers while it is still warm.)

Try it.  Please.  And let me know what you think.
