Snackin' Cake
Stacie Dasher
Does anybody remember this? It was a mix by Betty Crocker or Duncan
Hines in the late 70s-early 80s. There was a chocolate chip one that
was great. I'd love to make something myself that comes close, but
how? Every once in a while I'll toss in some chips in a plain batter &
hope, but it's just not the same. Does anyone have a recipe?

Betty Crocker made it. I was partial to the banana walnut flavor
myself. Don't have a recipe for it, but General Mills (who makes BC
products) just put out a new version called Stir 'n Frost that sounds
very similar. Not sure what flavors they have, but if you call and
suggest one they might add it.

I remember those cakes. Didn't they came out about the same time as
Wondra Flour and contained Wondra in the mix so they mixed up easily?

If I recall, didn't you mix them in the 9X9 square pan? You made a "well" in
dry mix, added an egg and then some vinegar? I do remember liking them!

70's flashback! I remember those. I loved the chocolate chip cake. I
don't have a recipe, but I saw something similar called Stir and
Frost(?) at the supermarket over the holidays.

Apple Snackin' Cake
Ingredients:
Vegetable cooking spray
2 tablespoons margarine, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1/3 cup skim milk
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups peeled, thinly sliced Golden
Delicious apple
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon margarine, melted
Instructions:
1 Lining the baking pan with foil makes
it easy to lift out the cooled cake to
take on your picnic. And there's no pan
to clean up, either.
2 Line a 9-inch square baking pan with
aluminum foil, allowing 6 inches of foil
to extend over two opposite sides of pan.
Coat foil with cooking spray; set aside.
3 Cream 2 tablespoons margarine and sugar
at medium speed of an electric mixer
until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
Add egg whites; beat 2 minutes at medium
speed or until well blended. Add milk,
applesauce, and vanilla; mix well.
4 Combine 1-1/3 cups flour, baking
powder, and salt. Add to creamed mixture,
stirring just until moistened. Spread
into prepared pan; arrange apple slices
in a single layer in 3 rows, core side
down, on top of batter, pressing gently
into batter.
5 Combine 3 tablespoons flour, brown
sugar, and cinnamon; stir well. Add
melted margarine, and toss well; sprinkle
over apples. Bake at 350 deg for 45
minutes or until browned; cool completely
in pan. Yield: 9 servings (serving size:
3-inch square piece).

I found at the Walmart a package from Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip muffin mix.
It IS THE SAME as snackin' cake--- The original cake was 15.75oz and these $1 packages are 6.5oz so I mixed two together and had my Snackin' Cake again-- Is this thread really 17 years old ???
