HORNET'S NEST CAKE (WITH TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE VARIATION)



Hornet's Nest Cake (with Triple Chocolate Cake Variation) image

This is an extremely easy, extremely yummy eggless cake that bakes with its own topping, so icing isn't necessary. It's moist, dense and rich tasting. And one of my "exceptions" to using mixes in cakes. This is great stuff, and it travels well. Time does not include preparing and cooling time for the pudding. For the Triple Chocolate variation, just substitute chocolate, chocolate fudge, or devil's food pudding mix for the vanilla pudding mix and chocolate or devil's food cake mix for the yellow cake mix. You can still use the butterscotch chips, or substitute chocolate chips or peanut butter chips, and use any nuts you like. The recipe originally came from the Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library.

HORNETS NEST CAKE

Super easy to make and a great snack cake. Different variations can be made such as walnuts instead of pecans, chocolate chips instead of butterscotch--only limited by imagination.
