Fresh Apple Cake

Rocky Road Cake

This recipe calls for a box of Pillsbury Devil’s Food Cake Mix and then adding in the marshmallows, nuts, chocolate chips and raisins and frosting with Pillsbury Fudge Frosting then should you choose, decorating it with walnuts, chocolate chips, raisins, gummy worms, flies, and dead frogs (Halloween spooky).

This recipe brought back memories of being in the kitchen with my mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother, baking zucchini bread together.
