Weather is not only fascinating, it can also be very delicious.  Well sort of… 

My favorite cake is German Chocolate Cake.  This cake doesn’t exactly have a weather related name, but there is one that uses a cake mix of this type as one of its ingredients.  I am talking about “Texas Tornado Cake.”  Not only is this cake delicious but it gives you yet another way to make weather relate to your every day life and fun.  Below is the recipe.  Enjoy…
