I have this original recipe from years ago - I remember it was a $15,000 winner in some contest - will post when I get a chance.

Pillsbury bake off prize winner. Just found it in an old pillsbury winning recipes cookbook. Problem is I'm in Canada and we dont have Pillsbury cake mixes. I was wondering if I could use Duncan Hines.
