That is how I feel about my purchase in a Publix grocery store soon after moving from Salem Ohio  to Sarasota Florida,

Seemed a big price to pay for a 9X13 inch cake baking pan so let’s take a look see at what I got for $20.

Now note the bumps in the bottom of this cake pan

This baking pan is two layered with air between the layers of metal then sealed around the edges to make it one baking pan. So I decided to see if it baked a cake with better texture and flavor.

I used a Duncan Hines decadent Chocolate cake mix that has an extra little package in the cake box with directions to mix in a small bowl with I/3 cup of water that stirs up a thick paste and direction say to swirl that through the cake batter after putting the batter in the pan.

Sometimes it is better not to follow directions. When I took that pan from the oven every where I had swirled the extra chocolate paste it sank lower by about I/2 inch than the rest of the cake; weird looking!!

So I decided to smart up and add that extra chocolate paste right in the large mixing bowl with the full cake batter. I beat it up with the electric mixer then put it in the cake pan that I lined with olive oil using a tiny scrap of paper towel.

AHA! This turned out to be perfect after iced with Duncan Hines Classic chocolate icing from a can.

The miracle of baking in this $20 cake pan is that the edges bake exactly like the center and the whole cake holds moisture that gives the best flavor to that cake, Each bite you take just simply melts with flavor in your mouth.

And it is truly THE BEST $20 I EVER SPENT !!
