Harvey Wallbanger Cake"Galliano, vodka, orange juice and a cake mix!"
This Harvey Wallbanger cake is one of those
Italian cakes that's not necessarily "traditional" - BUT it uses an Italian liquor called Galliano. Galliano is primary flavoring in this cake. And we use it in our Italian drink for the most part - but my grandma had this in her little cookbook put together by her and her "lady" friends as a fundraiser. 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. A tid bit of Italian drink trivia. A Harvey Wallbanger is an Italian drink made with orange juice, vodka, and Galliano. And those "licorice-y" flavors actually have me prefering this cake over a basic Italian rum cake. (Well at least on the night I served it) It has a nice snappy bite. This is one of those super easy cake recipes...because it's one of those box cake mix recipes! It starts with a mix - and then you add the goodies. *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.

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.

Memorial Day and Warmer Weather Treats!It's finally warming up! In my neck of the woods we had SNOW on May 2nd. Now were on to the warm weather sweet treats! I started celebrating by having a Sangria last night. Sangria is so easy to make - and the trick to making it spectacular is - following the super easy procedure. IF you need a brush up see: How to Make Sangria As for Memorial Day Goodies - I bake the LESS sticky stuff if I have to travel. And something that the kids can grab with their fingers as they cruise by the dessert table and run off to their next game. Cookies and brownies work the best for this! The past month, these are my top five most viewed cookie recipes: #1 Anisette Cookies #2 Italian Wedding Cookie Recipe #3 Pizzelle Recipe #4 Ricotta Cheese Cookies #5 Meringue Cookie Recipe Have a fun filled Memorial Day!
