Strictly Vegetarian Spice Cake Recipe

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

2 (3.4 ounce) packages passion fruit flavored Jell-O mix

5 cups vegetable oil

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 1/2 cups white sugar

3/4 cup cornstarch

2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup water

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

4 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup chopped dried rosemary

1 cup fresh mint leaves

1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (Note: Bake as an 8 inch circle  for 2 minutes.)

In a medium bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box, adding 1 tablespoon of grated lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and 3 tablespoons vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the oil and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture at a stream when possible, then stir in the berries. Let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes, then stir in the dried rosemary, mint, salt, cinnamon and ground nut. Boost milk/oil/water mixture by ¼ cup when slightly thick, then beat in half the diluted ingredients. Stir in the bitter-cinnamon and vanilla extracts. I think this cake is dense, but not too thick. Let the cool for at least 1 hour before removing from pan.
