CASEY CAKE and APRICOT SMOOCH

from Elana White

CASEY CAKE
Don't know what this is really called, but we've always called it Casey
Cake because my brother Casey loved it so much.

This recipe makes a very small cake that can easily be eaten by two
hungry people in one sitting.

Cake:
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in egg. Then mix in milk. In a
separate bowl, stir together flour and baking powder and then mix dry
ingredients into wet ingredients and pour into an 8" x 8" baking pan.
Bake at 375 degrees till done (about 20-25 minutes - keep an eye on it.)

Topping:
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cream
1 cup shredded coconut.

Melt butter and then mix in brown sugar, cream and coconut. You can
also throw in some chopped nuts and/or raisins if you like. Spread topping
over cake and serve.

APRICOT SMOOCH
This one was a big favourite of my ex's family, though I was never
partial to it. It's very creamy and tart. and *very* sweet.

1 pkg. dried apricots
1/2 lb. butter
1/2 lb. icing sugar
1 egg
2 small cartons whipping cream
Graham cracker crumbs

Cook apricots with enough water to cover them until they're soft and
let them cool. Puree them in a food processor and set aside. Cream butter
and sugar together and then add the egg. Take a large pyrex dish (around 33
x 23 x 5 cm). Sprinkle in a thin layer of graham cracker crumbs over the
bottom of the dish. Spoon butter mixture over bottom (keep some cold
water handy to wet the spoon so the stuff doesn't stick). Use back of spoon
to spread mixture. Smooth evenly. Spread apricots over creamed mixture.
Top with whipped cream and garnish with a few chopped apricots and/or
toasted almonds. Should be made the night before serving and kept chilled.
