Southern Comfort Cake Recipe!
18-1/2 oz. yellow cake mix
3-1/4 oz. package instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup Southern Comfort
4 eggs
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup oil
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (I prefer walnuts.)
Glaze:
4 T. Butter
1/8 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup Southern Comfort
This is a super easy one bowl cake recipe that I've been making since I was tall enough to use the hand mixer and see into the bowl. LOL! It's truly delicious. I've used both regular yellow cake mix and gluten-free yellow cake mix and it's delicious either way.
Combine cake ingredients in a large bowl and beat at a medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch tube or 12-cup bundt pan. Bake at 325ºF for 1 hour. Carefully invert on rack and cool for about 30 minutes. Place a plate under cake and cooling rack and prick top repeatedly with toothpick.
To make glaze, melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in Southern Comfort.
Brush with glaze. If you lose a lot of glaze and it drips to the plate, remove that plate and add another plate. Use the glaze from the first plate to continue coating the cake.
IF YOU WANT TO...sift 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar over cake. For Christmas time it's really pretty. You can use cookie cutters to make snowflake designs if you'd like. Just set the cutter on the cake lightly and hit the sifter once or twice over cutter and repeat.
I send these to Robby's office in Plain Cake Boxes which I buy from Michael's (Remember...never, ever, EVER go to Michael's without visiting their website first for a coupon. They usually have one of those FABULOUS 40% off coupons and you can just show it to them on your phone!). I also buy the 10 inch cake rounds to put the cake on before putting it in the box. I think I get 10 in a pack for like $4. I also print recipe cards with the recipe printed on them for him to put next to the cake in the event anyone wants to make it at home. It's usually a MAJOR hit!
