I think out of all desserts available, cake is my favorite. Not a big ice cream fan. Has to be a white, or yellow cake too. Love chocolate but not chocolate cake. I know, I'm weird and picky.
My very favorite cake in the whole wide world is good ol Harvey. Harvey wallbanger that is. It's old school. My mom got on a kick of making it back in the 70s and it's the first food I think I ever fell in love with.
The first time I tasted it she had made it for a dinner party she was hosting and the cake was out on the buffet table. After it had been cut into I snuck over and cut off a nice slice for myself. Quite an unusual taste for a kid with all the Galliano and Vodka in it. Bet I slept good that night! I'm not sure if the alcohol bakes out of it or not.
I make it all the time and it is a crowd pleaser. Here is the last one I made ...
Not fancy, and quite easy to make. The bottles of Galliano and Vodka will set you back a few pennies but it lasts for many cakes.
Here is a link to the recipe but please note, I do NOT put alcohol in my glaze. I simply mix a bit of oj with the powdered sugar as I find the alcohol in the cake is enough to give it that old school Harvey Wallbanger taste.
Oh my goodness, this looks so good. I have to try the Harvey Wallbanger cake soon. Yum.
