I've had a spice cake mix in my pantry for a while now. I know that I must have bought it for a recipe because this isn't something I would normally buy. Anyone have a good recipe to use it??
I'd prep it as usual and throw it over drained canned peaches or sauteed apples in a well buttered pan. A quick not-quite cobbler.
Or throw a couple handfuls of quick oats into the batter, add 1/3-1/2 C raisins plumped in rum or sherry or water, and make a slightly better cupcake with it.

I‘m not really a cake fan but I really like spice cake even if it comes from a box. On one condition... it needs to be frosted with Penuche frosting or it doesn’t count. I haven’t thought of this recipe for years. I think I got the recipe from my southern grandma. I wasn’t able to find my recipe but this one is very similar.
Penuche Frosting
In a small saucepan melt 1/2 cup margarine or butter; stir in 1 cup packed brown sugar. Cook and stir until bubbly. Remove from the heat. Add 1/4 cup milk; stir until smooth. Add 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar; beat by hand until of spreading consistency. Frost cooled cake immediately. (If frosting thickens, stir in hot water, a few drops at a time, until of spreading consistency again.)
Walnuts on the top layer can make the cake EXTRA SPECIAL!!!

I think that's what my mom used to make with a broiled coconut/brown sugar frosting. I bet that's something she won't get where she's living. I ought to make her one.
