I'll take cake batter anything

I love anything that tastes like cake batter.  I know you're not supposed to eat regular, raw cake batter because it has eggs in it, but I just can't help it.  Lately, I've been making Rice Krispy Treats, but sadly I want to eat them so fast (see Nummily post) that I just scoop them from the pan to my bowl and eat them with a spoon.

I just found this great recipe that combines Rice Krispy Treats and cake batter.  Guess I better forget about my diet!  Check this out, yum!


Cake Batter Rice Krispies Recipe(From How Sweet Eats)
Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 (10 oz.) bag of mini-marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup yellow cake mix (the dry cake mix, not prepared into a batter!)
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 (1.75 oz.) container of sprinkles

Method:
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir until they begin to melt, adding in (dry) cake mix one spoonful at a time so its combined. Stir in cereal so it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and mix. Press into a baking dish (any size will do) and top with remaining sprinkles. Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting. I find spraying a knife with nonstick spray helps to cut them.
Ali’s Tip:
I actually increased the cake batter to 1/3 cup for my recipe to give it a little extra cake batter kick (the 1/4 cup seemed just a little too subtle to me), but add as much in as you like!
***Note: Many readers have asked what to do with the remaining cake mix.  If you would like to use it to whip up a batch of cake mix cookies, just measure out 6 oz. of the remaining cake mix, and combine it with 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil, and 1 egg.  Stir until mixed.  Then form into cookie dough balls, and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.***

  1. Don't even get me started on cake batter. The Meadows has birthday cake yogurt once in a while so I feel free to indulge in that, but oh man can I pack away that raw cake batter. Why is it so damn good???
