Harvey Wallbanger Cake"Galliano, vodka, orange juice and a cake mix!"
This Harvey Wallbanger cake is in one of my grandmas cookbooks, listed in her
Italian cakes section.
Galliano is an Italian liqueur and it a primary flavoring in this cake. I have made
a zillion Italian dessert recipes from this lil' cookbook - and this one like
the others is awesome. My daughter's boyfriend had 5 pieces last night.
These little Italian ladies knew how to make their desserts! And yes they were all "ladies" because they put their name at the end of the recipe. A tid bit of Italian drink trivia. A Harvey Wallbanger is an Italian drink made with orange juice, vodka, and Galliano. And those flavors actually have me prefering this cake over a basic Italian rum cake. It has a nice snappy bite. This is one of those super easy cake recipes...because it uses a cake mix! *GASP* I know! BUT as my grandma aged - she began to accept cake mixes. Of course she always added a lot more goodies than the recipe on the back of the box. See the substitution section below for tips and questions. Harvey Wallbanger Cake
YIELD: 1 Bundt Pan
INGREDIENTS: * 1 package yellow cake mix (I know, I know. But let's relax for one dessert and buy a mix!) * 1 package of vanilla pudding (ONLY IF the cake mix doesn't have pudding in it) * 1/2 cup of oil * 4 eggs * 1/4 cup of vodka * 3/4 cup of orange juice * 1/4 cup of Galliano Procedure * Preheat oven to 350 degrees. * Mix all ingredients together and beat for 4 minutes. (Really!) * Pour batter into well greased and lightly floured bundt pan. * Bake for 45-50 minutes. * You can dust with powdered sugar....OR maybe go for my bourbon orange glaze. You can make it with or without the bourbon if you decide the bourbon may be overkill. Substitutions and QuestionsWhat is Galliano?Galliano is a brand name, like Pepsi or Charmin'. But to answer the question,
it's an Italian herb flavored liqueur. There are over 80+
herbs and berries infused. The herb I notice most is anise, but that may be because it's an innate Italian trait. :-)
Can I use shortening or butter?Sure, just be aware of the texture you will get for substituting.
But using one of those ingredients won't harm the flavor.
