Harvey Wallbanger Cake
This recipe has been in my family for years, yet somehow, we always forget to make it. It’s a vintage classic—moist, citrusy, and topped with the most delicious boozy glaze. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint for our at-home date night.
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box Yellow Cake Mix I use Bob’s Red Mill
- 1 small box vanilla instant pudding
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup butter melted
- ¼ cup vodka
- ¼ cup Galliano
- ¾ cup orange juice
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ tsp vodka
- 1 ½ tsp Galliano
- ¼ cup orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vanilla pudding, eggs, butter, vodka, Galliano, and orange juice. Mix until well combined.
- Pour batter into a greased bundt pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vodka, Galliano, and orange juice until smooth.
- Slowly pour the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Let the cake sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the glaze to fully absorb.
Notes
Galliano is a unique ingredient, fairly expensive, and not very versatile. It is a spiced vanilla liquor, you can use Tuaca or any vanilla vodka that you can buy in a small shooter form (50 ml) since you don't need much.
