0_0 - Cake for breakfast

I was up at 4 a.m. and thought baking would be a wonderful idea!
So, I converted a yellow cake mix into a really tasty coffee cake. Yummy! (This has NUTS in the topping)

Let me know if anyone tries it, :-)

You Will Need (8 things)

  • Sliced Almonds
  • Butter
  • Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • Ground Flaxseed
  • Ginger
  • Cinnamon
  • A Yellow Cake Mix
  • Brown Sugar Substitute

Steps (5 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Holding about 1/2 cup of the dry cake mix on the side for later, I made the cake as per the instructions on the box.

  2. 2

    Then added to the batter:

    2 tbl spoons cinnamon
    1 tsp spoon ginger
    1/4 c. ground flax seed. (to balance the sugar in the mix, :-)
    2 1/2 cups of old fashion oats.

  3. 3

    The batter was a little dense..but not bad, it’s a coffee cake now. I put mine in a square glass baking dish … but a bunt cake would work…..grease the pan. (you know)

  4. 4

    Make the topping like this:

    1/2 cup of the cake mix that I set aside
    1 stick of butter - (hey- I added that healthy flax!)
    1 cup old fashion oat meal
    1 cup sliced almonds
    1/2 cup brown sugar substitute - (to balance the sugar)
    Mix it until all crumbly and spread it evenly onto the top of the batter mix.

  5. 5

    Bake it @ 350 degrees for about 50 minutes…or until it’s done by checking it with a toothpick. And then, when it’s all done….and you’re fanning it to help it cool faster…..eat it, :-)
