millionaire's cake
(1 rating)
As simple as this dessert is to make, it's amazing how delicious it is. It has a tropical touch, and everyone seems to love it. The recipe was created years ago, before manufacturers began to economize and downsize boxed foods, with cake mixes going from 18.5-oz boxes to 15.25-oz boxes now. And the instructions were use only half the batter (discarding the remaining batter or using it to make cupcakes). But with smaller cake mixes now, it's easier to use all of the prepared batter. It produces a loftier cake, but that's better than wasting cake batter. It's sometimes called Hawaiian Cake.
