Sherry Cake

 This recipe has been a favorite in our family for years.  I recently found the original recipe which was from Francis Blair a neighborhood friend of Mom & Dad's from Canoga Park. She would make this as a dessert for their bridge parties.  It can be served plain or topped with fresh fruit. If you really want to go all out add vanilla ice cream.  yum yum


Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Generously Grease a bunt or angel food pan

Ingredients

1 white or yellow cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup cream sherry
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg

mix all ingredients in large bowl with electric mixer on low to incorporate.  Increase speed to medium and beat for 5 minutes making sure you scrape the side of the bowl.  pour into prepared pan and bake    40-45 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.     oven temperatures vary so I would start testing the cake for doneness at 35 minutes. cool in pan 20 minutes, then invert on to serving plate

Serves 12

  1. I can't remember the last time I had this...hm...someone needs to have a birthday so I can make this!

    Do you have to make it in a bunt/angel food pan? Would it work in a regular glass pan?
