Amarettto is a nutty liquor, right? How did you use that for R.H.?

I also LOVE the recipe you posted. I make it all the time!!! IT's called amaretto cake or HArvey Wallbanger cake ( not sure why).

There's a glaze u can make to drizzle over it:

1 Cup confectionary sugar
1 Tbsp. orange juice
1 Tbsp. vodka
1 tsp. amaretto

I make the glaze if I make the cake in a bundt pan so taht it looks fancy!!

Koolmother - what is the recommended size/kind baking pan for this?
Also, when you write vodka, what precisely do you mean? The strong 120 proof that the derelicts in the street drink?
Please advise; thanks.

I asked the rov about nuts and nutty liquor and he said it was best to avoid ALL.

should I make this in a bundt pan?

I make this cake every week for shabbos and it is a HIT!!! I use frangelica instead of the nutty liquer or you can use kahlua but thats not really kosher anymore, I think... I highly recommend this cake

This is the bestest, simplest, greatest cake! But you forgot the BEST! part:

The glaze:

~1 cup confectioner's sugar
~2 Tbsp. hot water or orange juice (I usually do 1 TBSP of each. I find
you need the hot wate rto help melt the confec. sugar.)
~Drop Amaretto
~Drop Vodka

Mix all ing. together. Pour and spread over cooled cake

Yes you can definately make it in a bundt pan-it's actually the only way I've seen it served.

thanks for that!

also, when do you personally take the cake out of the pan and it not fall apart?

I let my bundt cakes in general cool in the pan for like 10 minutes or so and then invert them onto a dish. Just grease the pan well Smile

ok thanks. last week I made a chocolate bundt cake , let it cool for like 30 minutes, then attempted to invert it and a whoel side of the cake just crumbled. maybe not enough spray?

anyway, thanks for your help Very Happy
