St. Patrick's Day Pot of Gold Cake



This a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  The Brough family makes this cake.  You can use any cake recipe and frosting.   After putting the batter in cake pan, you randomly put coins or dollar bills which are folded up and wrapped in wax paper (I fold and wrap it small), into cake, and push it into batter.  I usually put one bigger bill in for the person who gets the biggest prize.  I decorated the cake as usual with frosting and I put chocolate gold coins on top with sprinkles and chocolate clovers.  I have even made a vanilla cake, and poked holes with fork and poured green jello (that is mixed up and dissolved) over the top, and top with whipped cream for a nice dessert.  A fun way to celebrate!  Can also do this idea with cupcakes.
