Mabel's Filled Cupcakes

This recipe won the third-ever Ovenette Cook-off at the National Scotty Rally in 2009, Mabel's second time winning. She added frosting spider webs and tiny plastic spiders. They were labeled as "Spooky Cupcakes - Spiders Not Eatable" Everyone loved them!

1 chocolate cake mix 1 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/3 cup sugar 1 egg dash of salt 6 oz. mini chocolate chips 2 cans chocolate fudge frosting

Preheat ovenette to 350

Combine cream cheese and sugar, creaming until light and fluffy. Add egg and dash of salt, beating well. Stir in chocolate chips and set aside.

Make cake mix according to instructions on box. Spoon batter into small sized cupcake papers - double up the papers. Fill cups slightly more than half full. Drop about 1/2 a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling into the center of each cup. Put a scant teaspoon of cake mix on top. Put cupcakes in a foil cake pan, or the cake pan that came with your ovenette, if you have it. They'll bake very quickly so check them often. Cool in pan and then frost with canned frosting.

Mabel's Ovenette Peach Cobbler

This recipe won the first ever Ovenette Cook-off in 2007 - made using fresh Michigan Blueberries!

Melt 1/3 cup of butter in the cake pan 2/3 cup self-rising flour 2/3 cup sugar 2/3 cup milk

Mix flour, sugar and milk together and pour over the melted butter. Do not mix. Add 1can of canned sliced peaches, which you have drained and diced. Add about 3T of the peach juice as well. Sprinkle another 1/4 of sugar over the top (you may add a touch of brown sugar as well--Mabel swears by it). Bake in the Ovenette at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a golden brown. Mabel says to serve it with vanilla ice cream. She also says you may use 1 cup of your favorite fruit instead of the peaches. Canned pears is very good, as are fresh or frozen blueberries.

Melt 4 T of butter in the cake pan 1 cup self-rising flour 1 cup yellow corn meal 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup honey 1/2 t salt 1 large egg 1 cup sour cream

Mix all together (batter should be slightly thicker than a cake mix-if your sour cream is quite firm, you may need to add a bit of milk) and pour over the melted butter. Do not mix. Bake in the Ovenette at 350 for 25 minutes or until a golden brown. This makes a moist, sweet cake-like cornbread. Mabel says you may omit the honey and add an additional 1/4 cup of sour cream if you don't like it so sweet.
