Deceptively Delicious Devil's Food Cake

This recipe comes from Deceptively Delicious. I wanted Quinn's birthday cake to have some redeeming quality to it, so I snuck in pumpkin and plain yogurt. It was a big hit with everyone who sampled it, especially the little man.

Ingredients:

1 box Devil's food cake

2 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 large egg white

3/4 cup plain yogurt (Greek)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray and flour lightly. (I used a 6 inch cake pan and got several layers out of the recipe)

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pumpkin puree, water, oil, eggs, egg white and yogurt. Beat until smooth. 1 to 2 minutes.

3. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Corn Salsa

This recipe is so popular that I doubled it two times ago when I served it, and it was gone. The last time I served it I tripled the recipe and it was all gone. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 can mexicorn

1 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped

2 tablespoons finely chopped onions

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

taco seasoning to taste

Directions:

Isn't it self-explanatory? Mix together and add taco seasoning to your liking. You can make this ahead of time, but just wait to avocado to avoid browning (which is yucky).
