    What’s cooking Suzanne?

    By Staff
    Suzanne Langcuster
    No matter what the occasion or the time of the year, cake is a wonderful answer to help you celebrate.
    Birthday cakes, wedding cakes, holiday cakes or seasonal cakes make a meal or gathering complete.
    This week we are offering you some recipes that can be used throughout the months and year after year. Add these to yor recipe book and have them handy when you need them.
    Peter Paul Mound Cake
    Mix and bake cake as directed on box. Let cool completely. Split layers after cooling.
    Filling
    1 c. sugar
    1 c. whipping cream (save 1/4 cup for frosting)
    1 t. vanilla
    12 lg. marshmallows
    1/2 lg. can or pkg. angel flake coconut
    Mix sugar and whipping cream together. Cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and marshmallows. Add coconut. Beat well. Spread between layers.
    Frosting

    Put Pecans on bottom of a tube pan, layer cut-up canned biscuits, sugar, cinnamon, and pecans and pour 1/2 c. of melted butter over it. Repeat again. The butter and sugar melts and gets all over biscuits. (this is one of my favorites).
