Recipes:The Original and the "Lite" from 2006




Patricia Morris won last year with her Aunt Blanche's delectable chocolate cake recipe ( I fondly remember its cinnamon-y and moist chocolate essence).

The cake includes a Duncan Hines cake mix AND is indeed rich with 9 eggs and 1 cup of coconut milk included. But that is the sort of over-the-top 1,000-calorie a slice richness that led to a 2006 Best in Show trophy for Patricia.

If you care to give Patricia's recipe a spin, click

If you care for a lighter version,
Donna Weihofen of Channel 3 and UW-Madison made a 350 calorie version which may be found here:

Bake on!
