Many puddings similar to the baked chocolate pudding can be made.
The cake batter is put into an ungreased pan. The topping can consist
of brown sugar, chopped nuts and water; or of a sweetened berry sauce;
or of a caramel or maple syrup. The topping will sink to the bottom as
the cake bakes. Yellow or white cake batter can be used instead of
chocolate.
The cake batter can be steamed about 30 minutes in custard cups
for steamed pudding.
Three egg whites or five egg yolks can be used in the yellow cake
recipe to make a white or gold cake.
Non-fat dry milk solids can be added to the mix. Use 1 cup of the
non-fat dry milk solids in the smaller Mix recipe or 2 cups in the larger
one. Then use water instead of milk in the recipes if you wish. Or
milk can be used to further increase the food value.
For cheese balls mix 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, 1/8 teaspoon
cayenne and 1 1/2 cups grated cheese with 1 cup of Master Mix. Blend
well, with beater or by kneading. Form into 24 small balls. Bake
on a baking sheet in a moderate oven (375 degrees) about 15 minutes.
