Rocky Road Nut Cake

Hello everybody.  I'm sorry I missed out on being here on Saturday.  I really felt bad letting Spicy and all of you down like that.  Life just took over.  But I am here today and very glad to be so.  Since I was guilty of such a thing I figured I should bust out one of the THE BEST recipes I have.  My Mom has been making this cake for more years than I remember.  And if  asked my son would tell you that it is by all means his all time favorite!  It is absolutely delicious.  Not the easiest recipe I have ever made but well worth any obstacles!

I hope you are all enjoying a great week so far.  Of course I hope that you were able to enjoy a fabulous Thanksgiving with your family and friends!  Enjoy the cake and I will see you on Thursday!

Rocky Road Nut Cake

1 3/4 Cups sugar

1 1/2 Cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/ 1/2 Cups walnuts

1 Cup butter, melted

4 Cups miniature marshmellows

Butterscotch Icing:

1 Cup brown sugar

1/2 Cup butter

1/3 Cup milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 Cup Confectioners Sugar, sifted

Grease and flour 13 x 9 pan, preheat oven to 350°.

Sift together sugar, flour and salt.

Add eggs and vanilla, mix until well blended.  

Stir in walnuts and melted butter.  Pour into pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.  When cake is done, pull it out and immediately cover with the marshmellows so they will melt. 

To make Butterscotch Icing combine brown sugar, butter, milk and salt in pan.  Boil for 3 minutes.  You must watch it and stir constantly or it will burn.  Add sifted confectioners sugar and mix until smooth.  Drizzle over cake!  Be sure to let the butterscotch harden before you try to cut the cake.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Hello Monday!

So I overslept this morning so shirt and sweet sorry! The Saucy Irish will be gone for awhile so until she gets back I will be here Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with recipes. I will try filling in the other days the best I can! I can't fill her shoes!  So please hang in there with us!

I promised you Butter Beers!  This recipe came from my Mom!

Vanilla Ice Cream

butterscotch ice cream syrup

Cream Soda

Make it just like you would a rootbeer float and add the butterscotch syrup to taste! 

They are very sweet so try it with and without the butterscotch to see what you like! There is also a butterscotch ice cream you could replace the ice cream and syrup with, I know it isn't available everywhere!

Hope you all have a great week!
