It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is BROWN SUGAR DEVIL’S FOOD CAKE W/FUDGE FROSTING!

Today is Double Recipe Day! Can’t share a cake recipe without including the special frosting that makes the cake even more delicious. If you’re a Devil’s Food Cake lover, you’ll enjoy this one. The fudge frosting is great on a number of cakes. Try it on banana cupcakes or peanut butter cake to name only two kinds of cake. Wow!  

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

Karen
