This recipe came from my wonderful friend Lillian. When making this I found I had no M and M's but I did have a package of chocolate coated walnuts and I also had some very finely chopped walnuts so I used these instead of the M and M's and peanuts. Since the walnuts were finely chopped I cut the amount to 1/4 cup. I also used a spring form pan sprayed with non-stick spray instead of the angel food pan. This recipe has so many possibilities. You can throw in some coconut, use almonds (whole or slivers), use salted mixed nuts, add raisins or dried cranberries. Just use your imagination. This is a cake that is very kid friendly so make sure the kids help with this creation.
Also, this is a recipe that I'll be sending to Mary Kennedy, Author of Dead Air. Mary sends goodies to the troops each month and this "Popcorn Cake" should keep very well.

I'm from Georgia, moved to North Carolina by way of Florida. I've been in Charlotte for 14 years and love it. The recipes in my book Stir, Laugh, Repeat are all tested by "Food Testers" of which I now have 24. They try a dish and rate it from 1-10 with only those scoring at least an 8 making the book. My website is a holding place for my 2nd book Stir, Laugh, Repeat... Again. Please visit my site to find new recipes and tips. All recipes are easy, using common ingredients and according to my testers, great!
When I wrote my introduction about a year ago and a lot has happened since then. I now have 5 blog sites that keep me pretty busy. Two of my sites are dedicated to nothing but recipes. Martha's Recipe Cabinet holds recipes that will be included in one of my upcoming cookbooks. Martha's Kitchen Korner consists of recipes that are good but still need just a bit of work. On A Book and A Dish you will find my book reviews and the author's favorite recipe. Stir, Laugh, Repeat holds reviews written about my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat and the site you are now on is the "mother" site for all of these. Here you will find cooking tips, simple recipes and updates for additions to the "offspring sites." So, enjoy!

This is an amazing cake, and I know the 389th Renegades in Iraq will love it. I keep plenty of popcorn on hand, by the way. A friend gave me a wonderful tip about how to pack brownies and cookies. She fills plastic bags with cooked popcorn and packs them around the edges of the "goodie" boxes she sends overseas. It's better than styrofoam, it protects the cookies and best of all, the soldiers can eat the popcorn when the goodies are all gone. A great idea!
Looks yummy!
