Following the baking mix directions, instead of 4 tablespoons of melted butter, substitute olive oil.  For the frosting, instead of a stick of butter, use 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 container of plain Greek yogurt added to about 4 tablespoons of the powdered frosting mix.

Since the baking mix is super sweet, next time around, I would leave out the powdered frosting mix entirely, and mix a frosting of simply peanut butter and yogurt, balancing out the cake’s sweetness.

What’s good is that McCarthy’s passion for travel shines through. His interest in the storied history of the location is genuine. He’s good at describing it. He’s good at ...
