By I am pregnant again. The test came back positive Wednesday December 28. Eight weeks along. Due late September. Harper’s the working name. Brayden is going to be a big brother.
The recipe Saturday was Harvey Wallbanger cake — the 1970s-classic Bundt cake with orange juice, vanilla pudding mix, and a small splash of Galliano in the glaze. The Galliano cooks off; the doctor cleared the cake. Total: $7.40.
The recipe is below.
Harvey Wallbanger Cake
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 50 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes | Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup Galliano liqueur
- 1/4 cup vodka
- Butter and flour for greasing the pan
- For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Galliano liqueur
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and prep. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter and flour a 10- to 12-cup bundt pan, making sure to coat all the grooves. Tap out any excess flour.
- Mix the batter. In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and instant vanilla pudding mix. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, orange juice, Galliano, and vodka. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Bake. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden. The cake will pull slightly away from the sides of the pan when done.
- Cool. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a thin knife or offset spatula around the edges and center tube, then invert onto the wire rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing, at least 30 additional minutes.
- Make the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and Galliano in a small bowl until smooth. The glaze should be thick enough to coat a spoon but still pourable. Add orange zest if using and stir to combine.
- Glaze and serve. Once the cake is fully cooled, transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle the glaze over the top, letting it run down the sides naturally. Allow the glaze to set for 10 minutes before slicing.
