A Friend's Recipe

I am planning a meal for a special guests coming to a Pilot meeting.  Earlier a friend had given me a recipe for pork tenderloins and I needed something good to go with it.  My cousin in law gave me her Marinated Vegetables.  I also decided for dessert to use the Coconut Pound Cake recipe that my brother in law gave me.  So I decided to share these recipes from family and friends.

Ca vender's Greek seasoning

Rub tenderloins with olive oil and Greek seasoning. Place tenderloins in baking pan or dish,sides touching. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Pickapeppa sauce and honey over each tenderloin. Add beer to bottom of pan for moisture. Bake uncovered 1 hr at 325 - 350º. (I cook at 350º for 1 hr. and 15 min.)

Grand Prize – Peggy’s Pound Cake  Mississippi Magazine, May/June, 2009(Shared by Harold Harris)

1 (18.25 ounce) Duncan Hines Coconut Supreme cake mix 

2/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup oil

1 cup sour cream

4 eggs

½ - 1 teaspoon vanilla (I use 1 teaspoon)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine cake mix and sugar with mixer (I use a hand or stand mixer).  Add oil, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla and beat 2 minutes.  Pour batter into greased and/or floured heavy Bundt pan and bake for 45 minutes.  Do not open the oven.  Remove from oven to wire rack.  Cool 10 minutes and remove from pan.  May dust with confectioners’ sugar.  Yield 12-16 servings.   (Note: may sink a little in the middle.  In my oven, cooks better on upper rack.)  I have used other flavors like Orange Supreme or Strawberry Supreme.  They are good but Coconut Supreme is the best.

Preparation and cleanup time:  30 minutes
