A specialty of the house! I love to bake cakes, cookies, and cobblers. Whether from a mix or from scratch, there's a surprise in every slice!
Summer White Wine Fruit Cake
1 box white cake mix (I used Betty Crocker, but any will do.)
1/2 cup white wine (I used cooking, but I imagine alcoholic wine would work as well.)
2 egg whites
2 large bananas, ripe and mashed
1 cup unsweetened, drained applesauce
1/3 cups strawberries
1/3 cup blueberries
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Prepare pan and white cake mix as shown on box; replace water with wine. Add drained applesauce and mashed bananas, and spices. Mix by hand (how I did it) or electric mixer until smooth. Add strawberries and blueberries, folding them in gently by hand. Place in greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or as instructed on box.
Serves 24.
Note: I orignally made this cake for my biological father for Father's Day 2007. It must have been a hit; I never saw him eat anything so fast! ;)
