The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Elevate your dessert game with this lemon cake recipe, made with a convenient cake mix that saves time without sacrificing taste. The secret ingredients are pineapple, marshmallows, and coconut.

1 can (8 ounce size) crushed pineapple
1 box (15-18 ounce size) lemon cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup shredded coconut
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
Drain the pineapple reserving the juice. Combine the reserved juice with enough water to make 1 cup.
Place the cake mix in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs and mix until just combined. With an electric mixer running, add the oil and pineapple liquid. Mix for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
Fold the crushed pineapple, marshmallows, and coconut into the cake batter. Transfer the mixture to the greased pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until the cake tests done with a toothpick.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool completely before slicing or frosting (if desired). Store the cake in an airtight container.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Delicious and easy. Made in my bundt cake pan and it came out fantastic. I toasted a 1/4 cup of coconut and sprinkled on the top after it was cool. This is a keeper.
