Harvey Wallbanger Cake Recipe

By , About.com Guide

This easy traditional recipe made the rounds during the 70's, so I am not quite sure where it originated. It takes the potent flavors of the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail and puts them into a deliciously moist cake. Look for the small single-serving bottles of the liquors if you do not keep them on hand. Instructions are also given for muffins.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Cake:
  • 1 box (about 18.75 ounces) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup Galliano® liqueur
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 1 3-ounce package vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • .
  • Glaze:
  • 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Galliano
  • 1 teaspoon vodka

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.

Place cake mix, oil, eggs, liqueur, vodka, pudding mix, and orange juice into a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.

Pour evenly into prepared Bundt pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.

For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, orange juice, liqueur, and vodka until smooth. Drizzle over the warm cake and let cool to room temperature for glaze to set.

Yield: 1 bundt cake (about 10 to 12 servings)

For Muffins:
Fill mini-muffins and/or muffin paper-lined tins 3/4 full. Bake mini-muffins for 10 minutes or 20 minutes for regular muffins. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center. If it comes out clean, they are done. Drizzle with glaze or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
