Sprinkle this with the cake mix, then the nuts.
Drizzle with the butter.

Okay I was reading Southern Living last night. Yes, I read Southern Living. It's the bomb. If you're a Yankee or some other odd species maybe you have never heard of it but the recipes are muy excelente.

Anyway, check this recipe out. At first I was all like, what? But then the more I think about it, the more intrigued I become.

Ice-cream Bread

Prep: 5 min., Bake: 45 min.

"This two-ingredient bread is terrific any time of day. Pop it in the oven while you're preparing supper, or serve it for afternoon tea. If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, toast a few slices for breakfast and serve with butter and jam."

1 pint (2 cups) ice cream, softened
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour

Stir together ice cream and flour, stirring just until flour is moistened. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 8- x 4-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of bread comes out clean. Remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack.

Note: Batter may also be divided evenly between 2 greased and floured 5- x 3-inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of bread comes out clean.

Yield: Makes 1 (8-inch) loaf

Bizarre or delicious? I would tell you but I have neither of these things in la casa de monkey. Someone should make this, right? Plus, it's great any time of day and you have to love that.
