THIS IS A FAVE OF A FELLOW ARMY WIFE I KNEW BACK IN THE EARLY 80'S. SHE WOULD MAKE IT FOR OUR MONTHLY COFFEES. AS MY FRIEND USE TO SAY "THIS UNFROSTED CAKE IS TOO UGLY TO SERVE ANYONE FOR YOUR FAMILY AND NEAREST AND DEAREST FRIENDS. JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND ENJOY!"

How To Make the ugly cake

Step 1

MIX BUTTER, CAKE MIX, 1 EGG AND PECANS UNTIL CRUMBLY. SPRAY 9x13 PAN WITH COOKING SPRAY. PAT MIXTURE INTO BOTTOM OF PAN. IN MIXING BOWL, COMBINE POWDERED SUGAR, 2 EGGS, CREAM CHEESE AND VANILLA. POUR ON TOP OF MIXTURE IN PAN.

Step 2

BAKE AT 325 DEGREES FOR 35 TO 40 MINUTES. CAKE WILL LOOK OKAY IN THE OVEN, BUT AFTER IT COOLS, THE CENTER WILL FALL AND THE CAKE WILL LOOK LIKE A MOON CRATER.
