Tis the season...

For cookies, cakes and chocolate! And this month I have had more than my share. I did my annual Christmas baking yesterday and was able to deliver the goodies to our friends today. I like to mix it up every year and try new recipes but I always bake a Harvey Wallbanger cake. It is foolproof and the moistest cake I have ever eaten. This is my dad's recipe and by far my favorite cake. You can't go wrong with this one. Just remember it isn't for the kiddos!

Harvey Wallbanger Cake

1 yellow cake mix
1 large package of vanilla pudding (cook and serve, not instant)
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup Galliano
1/4 cup vodka
3/4 cup orange juice

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and beat on low for 30 seconds. Scrape bowl and beat on medium for 5 minutes. Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pan. Cool completely and drizzle with glaze (recipe below).

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
2 tablespoons Galliano
1 teaspoon vodka

Enjoy!
