LIFESAVER CAKE
Inspired once again by Anne Byrn the Cake Mix Doctor I have come up with a cake that tastes like a roll of lifesaver fruit candies. This is a moist sweet cake and serving it with a quality vanilla ice cream only enhances the flavor another notch! If you're having trouble locating the various extracts, contact your local Watkins dealer and I can assure you they will have them. In the meantime prepare yourself for sheer indulgence!

Steps:
- PREHEAT oven to 350 F; lightly spray a Bundt pan with vegetable spray and dust with flour.
- COMBINE cake mix, pudding mix, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl; Blend with an electric mixer until the batter is thick and smooth; pour into prepared pan.
- BAKE until golden brown, approximately 60 minutes; meanwhile prepare the butter glaze.
- COMBINE sugar, hot water and butter in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat just until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves; stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes; remove pan from heat and stir in all the extracts.
- REMOVE Bundt pan from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes; carefully invert onto a cake plate right side up.
- POKE holes in the cake with a straw or use a cake syringe filled with the glaze slowly pouring or injecting the glaze directly in to the cake (depending on which method you use you may have glaze run-off, just soak up with a paper towel and discard) You want the cake to soak up as much as possible of the glaze; allow the cake to cool to room temperature before serving.
- STORE in a glass dome at room temperature for up to 1 week.
CHRISTMAS MORNING WIFE SAVER (BREAKFAST CASSEROLE)
I certainly cannot take credit for this recipe but it is a Christmas classic. There are lots of little things to personalize this recipe. I have suggested using red and green bell peppers because they are Christmas colors! I also use grated cheese and spread it over the Canadian bacon instead of cheese slices. I have used regular bacon in this recipe, but I find that it overpowers the rest of the flavors. Make this tasty breakfast dish the night before and just pop it in the oven on Christmas morning; let it cook while you open gifts and sip your rum-spiked coffee!

Tips:
- For a moist and fluffy cake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and airy, and gradually add the eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed.
- Use buttermilk or sour cream to add tanginess and moisture to the cake batter.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough and dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven at the correct temperature to ensure even baking.
- Use a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake to check if it is done. When it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it, as this will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, use softened butter and cream cheese, and gradually add the powdered sugar while mixing on low speed.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
- Decorate the cake with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other desired toppings before the frosting sets.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
