The Great Yellow Cake Mix Pizza Experiment
Now, if you’ve ever looked at a yellow cake mix and thought, “You know what would be good? A pizza version of this,” then you are not alone, my friend. Cooking is all about trying new things, and sometimes, those new things involve turning dessert into dinner. Or is it dinner into dessert? It’s hard to tell with fruit pizza.
Ingredients Assemble!
First thing’s first, we need our ingredients. We’re talking 1 box of yellow cake mix, 1/4 c. water, 1/4 c. brown sugar, 1/2 c. soft butter (not melted, not rock hard, just Goldilocks right), 2 eggs (free range, because we’re fancy), and 1/2 c. chopped nuts. Choose your nuts wisely, they can make or break a dish. Seriously, have you ever seen someone’s face when they bite into a walnut when they were expecting a pecan? It’s not pretty.
It’s Mixing Time
Next up, we mix. Now, you may be asking, “But blogger, can’t I just throw everything into the mixer and call it a day?” To which I would say, “Sure, if you want to live life on the edge and potentially end up with lumpy, nutty cake batter.” But hey, I’m not here to tell you how to live your life. Just remember to spread your rebellious batter into 2 greased pizza pans. You don’t want your masterpiece sticking after all the hard work you’ve put in.
Bake and Wait
Now comes the hardest part: waiting. Your masterpiece should bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes. That’s 15-20 minutes of resisting the urge to open the oven door. Do not, I repeat, do not open the door. You might be tempted to check on your creation, give it a little pep talk, but let’s not. We don’t want a deflated pizza cake, do we?
The Moment of Truth
And finally, the moment of truth. The timer dings. You approach the oven with a mix of anticipation and fear. Will it be a beautiful, golden brown pizza or a sad, lumpy mess? You open the door, and… it’s perfect. You’ve done it. You’ve created a masterpiece. A yellow cake mix, water, brown sugar, butter, eggs, and nuts masterpiece.
The Takeaway
So, what have we learned today? First, that pizza doesn’t always have to be savory. Second, that waiting is the hardest part of baking. And third, that yellow cake mix can be used for more than just cake. It can be used to create a delicious, sweet, and slightly confusing pizza that will have your friends asking, “Wait, is this cake or pizza?” To which you can confidently respond, “Yes.”
Now go forth, my culinary comrades, and bake! And remember, if you ever doubt your cooking abilities, just think back to this post. If I can turn a cake mix into a pizza, you can do anything.
