Jutta’s Raisin Cookies recipe written years…

This fruit fluff is based on the old-fashioned creamy fluffy fruit dessert/salad concoction often called fluff or heavenly hash, a blend of chopped fruits and mini marshmallows. Occasionally a dollop of mayonnaise is added which creates the sweet-savory taste of the past.

The recipe contains all the good ingredients of a pound cake (i.e., lots of eggs and butter) but follows a much simpler method — melt the butter and then stir in everything else. The texture will be pound cake dense and velvety. And in furtherance of my crusade for southern self-rising flour’s versatility beyond biscuits, there’s no need to add salt or leavening (it’s already added to the self-rising flour).

So, after declaring, over and over again, that sugar and cornbread don’t mix, this Apple Cornbread Skillet Cake again changes my mind. Yes, it’s a cake and not to be mistaken for sweet cornbread. I love to make it because it has just enough cornmeal texture, plenty of buttery flavor, eggy richness, and sweet tart apples on top.
