Is it necessary to fry in this recipe?

Question

OK, for Thanksgiving, I am going to make a "fried pumpkin cake with cream cheese and citrus frosting" by Paula Deen for my family. The frying part of the recipe does not appeal to me so I was wondering if I could get away with not frying it. Do you think I could get away with it or change my recipe? The link for the recipe is below:

Happy Thanksgiving

Answer 1

The recipe sounds good the way it is without the frying. I would do it as you desired. Happy Thanksgiving!

Answer 2

That is disgusting. Paula Deen deep fries everything she cooks. I imagine that when she dies, instead of cremation, she'll be rolled in bread crumbs and deep fried!



Of couse you don't have to deep fry the cake. It won't have the crisp crunchy shell that you're going for, but it is more likely that, unless you have a commercial fryer or you have done this a few times, that the cake will come out soaked with grease.



Plus your arteries will thank you for skipping the frying step!



Happy Thanksgiving.
