ROD RECIPES 1/5/2007 Take the Cake Day Mississippi Mud Cake
"Take the Cake" means to win the prize, but where did this saying come
from?
It's an American expression that comes from the South where they had
cakewalking contests. To "cakewalk" meant to strut your stuff, so the person
who did the fanciest dance steps got to take home the cake.
Mississippi Mud Cake
1 cup butter
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
3 1/2 cup coconut
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup cocoa

Frosting
1/2 cup melted butter
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb box powdered sugar
1/2 cup milk
1) Cream together the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add the rest of
the ingredients except the marshmallow cream. Blend well. This batter will be

cream over the top. Cool thoroughly.
