What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Sauce it up like they do it in the Tar Heel state. Brown sugar and cayenne are crucial for this sauce, so you'll be in for a sweet and spicy kick whether you throw this stuff on a pulled pork sandwich or use it for dipping.

3 3/4 cups cider vinegar
2 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine.
Cover the bowl and let stand at room temperature for 3-4 hours before using.
Use as a basting sauce while grilling or serve as a tangy dipping sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

This is the kind of sauce I grew up with, not that tomato based stuff! Love it! Great recipe.
