My youngest and I cooked this a couple of afternoons ago: Devil's Food Cake topped with Almond Butter. Honestly, we had no idea what we were going to add as a topping, so we gathered what we had available, and decided to play. :)

Ingredients

• almond butter
• cream cheese
• honey (organic, raw, and unfiltered preferred)
• one box cake mix (we chose Devil's Food Cake because of it's name, lol)

Procedure:

• Cook cake according to package instructions.
• Let cool.
• While it's cooling, mix the three ingredients. Sorry, I didn't measure them. Ugh, my bad.
• We were having too much fun mixing things up.
• Add the topping only after the cake has cooled. That doesn't mean we didn't eat a few pieces while it was still hot, though. :P

We bought those pretty little shiny candy drops together with the cake mix. We all thought it would look real pretty on top of those cakes. Not that tasty, though. lol. We decided to ditch them and leave the rest of the cupcakes candy-drops free after our first taste. Can't deny it looks pretty! :P

Yes, the cake mix was delicious. Loved the chocolatey taste.

This is perfect for Halloween! Here at home we really don't practice it, but I wouldn't mind sinking my teeth into those scary (but adorable) cupcakes! Food is food, right? lol. Want to know the recipe? Click on the shot to see Ms. Czjai's post.

Since it is a semestral break, I thought I'd encourage my sons to help me in the kitchen. My youngest said he'd like to make puto (steamed rice cakes) again, but I found out we didn't have the necessary ingredients. While rummaging, we had most of the ingredients for a no-bake cheesecake...no topping, though. But we had lots of saba bananas (plantain). Yup, you guessed it right: Banana (Saba) No-Bake Cheesecake. :P

{The recipe below is the same one that I have been using for all of my no-bake cheesecakes; forgot where I got it, sorry. but it works!)

....and ripe, sliced, fried saba (plantain) bananas.

Procedure:

• Mix first four ingredients, then pack in the container where you plan to put your cheesecake. Reserve some as topping. Chill.
• Combine the remaining ingredients except the bananas. Once mixed thoroughly, add to the chilled crust.
• Bananas must be really ripe, or you might want to slice them into bite-size pieces. You might want to cook them further, too: add water, sugar, vanilla, and the sliced bananas then simmer for around fifteen to thirty minutes. Make sure it's cool before using it as a topping. Drizzle the remaining crushed graham cracker mix.
• Chill before serving.

My sons and I had a fun time making this. They just think it's weird using plantain bananas as a topping. lol. They loved it, though. Me, too. Well, we do love our cheesecakes around here. :P

Appreciate much your taking the time to share and link your food posts here at Food Friday! :)
