Montana Mountain Cake Recipes

MOUNTAIN DEW CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F

• 3. Add the Mountain Dew; beat with electric mixer on medium speed for 2 or 3 minutes.
• 4. Pour batter into prepared bundt cake pan (sprayed with cooking spray with flour.) My handwritten recipe suggested a bundt pan but I really prefer to use a 9 x 13 cake pan.
• 5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
• 6. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, pineapple and cornstarch. Stir and cook until thick.

OLD FASHIONED BROWN MOUNTAIN CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour 9X13 cake pan or two 9" round pans.
• 2. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.
• 3. Measure out flour and sift, then measure again for accuracy. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa; add alternately with buttermilk to creamed mixture, do not use a mixer! Gently stir in vanilla and warm water.
• 4. Pour batter into prepared baking pan(s). Bake in 350 degree oven about 40-45 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool cake on rack. If round pans are used, cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely. Frost with caramel frosting.
• 5. CARAMEL FROSTING: Melt butter in saucepan. Add brown sugar, corn syrup and half and half. Cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Transfer to a large bowl. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. If frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon half and half at a time until consistency is right.
