Check out this recipe for Easy Peasy Kahlua Cake With Vodka Glaze.
Saturday night we decided on the spur of the moment to have a fish fry, and with company coming over I needed a company worthy cake. I had fifteen irons in the culinary fire, little time and frankly no desire to whip up something from scratch. Working off memory from a recipe a friend gave me I created, baked and impressed the crowd with this easy to prepare cake born from a box.
Easy Peasy Kahlua Cake with Vodka Glaze
Ingredients
1 yellow cake mix
1 3.4 oz. chocolate instant pudding
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
3/4 cup Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa
½ cup Kahlua
¼ cup vodka
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cake mix, instant pudding, cocoa, eggs, oil, Kahlua and vodka. Mix on medium high speed until well blended. Pour into a well-greased and floured Bundt pan. I use dry cake mix to “flour” the pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto plate and glaze.
Vodka Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 ½ Tablespoon vodka
Combine sugar and vodka together in small mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
I have been baking this Mango Lemon cake for years for two reasons:
1. It is easy to prepare and simply delicious. Isn’t that the reason we love to cook in the first place?
2. This cake goes well with a cup of hot tea, a cup of coffee or berries and sherbet.
It also goes well with my new Kate Spade dessert plates.
Mango Lemon Cake
Ingredients
1 yellow cake mix
1/3 cup oil
3 large eggs
1 cup mango nectar
1 Tablespoon lemon extract or 1 (3 oz.) pkg. lemon gelatin
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour bundt pan. Instead of flour I use dry cake mix to dust the bundt or tube pan. Add any extra dry cake mix back to the mixing bowl.
Combine cake mix, mango nectar, lemon extract or gelatin, lemon zest, eggs one at a time and oil. Mix well.
Pour batter into bundt or tube pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Glaze cake while hot.
