For years I have been struggling with the darn rubber ring that sealed my acrylic box that held the salt. It never stayed sealed and when I opened it, the ring fell into the salt every time and salt flew all over the counter and floor. While watching In the Kitchen with David on QVC , I spied this salt box that not only holds salt, but ground pepper as well! One hand easily swings the lid open. I have been studying all the FOOD TV Chefs shows for their salt boxes and I believe that zany David Venable showed the best.
I made this cake to take to work tomorrow for FOOD DAY. I used a regular Betty Crocker Triple Fudge ( if you can call that, regular) cake mix since I didn’t want to waste my Williams Sonoma mix on GDA’s (God Damn Associates).
Originally, I had planned on filling the pans with Ghiardelli Brownie mix. I think if I had used a brownie mix, the indentations and features would have been more distinct. But alas, once again, I didn’t want to waste a good brownie mix on a bunch of GDA’s.
I must admit however, the filling that I made is most EXCELLENT!. It’s a whoppie pie filling I found on Martha Stewart, but you can find the recipe here in the RECIPE BOX.
