TOP SECRET RECIPES |DOLLY MADISON CINNAMON BUTTERCRUM…
When Interstate Brands started the Dolly Madison line of baked goods that has today become the convenience store leader, it was known as Interstate Bakeries. Roy Nafziger started the bakery in 1927, and he could only have dreamed that one day his company would ring up more than one billion dollars in sales. One item that contributes to those impressive sales figures are these little brown sugar/cinnamon-topped cakes, which have become a popular addition to the Dolly Madison line of baked goods since the late eighties. We can easily create a low-fat home clone of the real thing with only seven ingredients, thanks to white cake mix that can be found in practically all stores. Notice that the cake mix is not a reduced-fat variety. That's not necessary for the recipe to produce little cakes that taste just like the real thing, but still have less than one-third the fat. And even though the original is sort of square-shaped, we'll use a couple of 12-cup muffin pans to simplify the process. The shape will be different, but the flavor will be right on. Check out my recipe for Dolly Madison Zingers here. Nutrition Facts Serving size–1 cake Total servings–24 Calories per serving–111 (Original–170) Fat per serving–1.7g (Original–6g) Source: Top Secret Recipes Lite by Todd Wilbur.
