Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This is a GREAT fall cake! It's just like the spice cake that was sold at the old A&P grocery stores. I used peacns rather than walnuts and topped it with cream cheese icing. Yummy!
