Texas Tornado Cake

Texas Tornado Cake
Texas Tornado Cake is spectacular. What a delicious and easy sheet cake to make! The cake is made with a can of fruit cocktail in the batter, then before you bake the cake you sprinkle a streusel topping with nuts over the top. After the cake comes out of the oven you add a boiled coconut topping and pour it on the cake while hot. Oh, soooo scrumptious!

RECIPE NOTES
NOTE: Sweetened condensed milk is NOT the same as evaporated milk. They are two very different products.
NOTE: You can use evaporated milk, half-and-half or heavy whipping cream when making the icing. Because there has been some confusion in the notes, let me be clear, this recipe does not use sweetened condensed milk in either the cake or the icing.

Top with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and you are good to go! I was giving this cake to someone else or I would have stopped and done just that!

Wedge Salad

Image
A good salad to serve with grilled steaks.  I prep all the ingredients beforehand  so it takes just minutes to assemble. If you don't have buttermilk,  just add a little extra sour cream. I've given measurements for the seasonings to give an idea, but you can just eyeball it. No need to measure seasonings This will make 1 C of dressing and you can easily double the recipe. I mix it up in a jar so any extra can easily be stored  in the refrigerator and I can make a quick  wedge salad for lunch. Sometimes I top it with a chopped hard boiled egg. For a buffet, make mini wedge salads. Just cut each wedge diagonally in half  again and put on a platter and then dress. Crisp and fresh!                           Wedge Salad Iceberg lettuce 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled 1 tomato diced 1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese Cut lettuce in half, then cut each half into 2 wedges. Slice out the core. Put wedges on a large platter for serving or on individual plates. Spoon a little dressing ove
