Ingredients: 2 White Cake Mix
Follow package directions on cake mix adding more oil if mix recommends but not less than the 1/4Cup per box. Mixes without pudding or generic are best. Add a Tablespoon of almond extract. If making a sheetcake, take out 12 cupcakes and bake in greased ˝ sheetcake pan 35 minutes at 350. Push batter to the outside and bake with a wet towel wrapped around to prevent burning. Cool. For Barbie cake use 1 Cake Mix and at least 1/4Cup Oil, put mix into large 2QT Pampered Chef Glass Measuring Bowl. Bake 350 about 50-60 minutes testing to make sure the middle is done. Cool. Invert cake onto large cool whip lid that has holes punched through for Barbie’s feet. Punch Barbie through center of cake using lid under to support Barbie. (Most of Barbie’s body will be above the cake). Place on serving platter.
