A couple of the recipes are too priceless to not share.

Resurrection Cake

Take one cake mix, your choice. Mix as directed on box. Pour in a well-greased cake pan, kind of deep. Over the top pour a pint of stewed pears or other fruit of your choice. Can fruit will do fine, but home-canned is best.

Then cover the top of the fruit with pats of oleo, or butter, and sprinkle with a good coat of sugar.

Stick in pre-heated oven 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until cake has risen to hide the fruit and is brown. Eat hot with a good strong whiskey sauce.

Whiskey Sauce

2 cups of sugar
1/2 lb. of butter (2 sticks)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
1 cup of Jack Daniels Black Label
1 pinch of salt

Blend sugar and butter and vanilla until mixed completely. Then add whiskey bit by bit, mixing until it is a nice, loose, creamy sauce. The sugar is supposed to be grainy.

Pour over resurrection cake and it's guaranteed to resurrect.

Grand Canyon Cake (This recipe also uses the whiskey sauce above. Fugee)

2 boxes of plain white cake mix
2 cans of chocolate icing
1 cup of whiskey sauce

Mix cake mixes like they tell you on the box. Then divide each cake mix into half and color each one of the four layers in a different color, such as red, yellow, green, and blue. Then bake them separately in 8-inch cake pans until done. Cool them off before you start to put the icing on. Now put a layer of cake and a layer of icing until you've used up all the cake. You should have enough to cover it generously; if not, run to the store and buy another can. After it's covered, take 2 big forls and stick them in the middle of the top of the cake and force on it until it cracks open and you can see all the color layers. Now pour your whisky sauce into the crack and let the cake absorb it. Let it stand for 3 or 4 hours before serving.

This is a wonderful treat for someone that's going to, or just got back from vacationing at, the Grand Canyon. It's also very educational for children.
