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
I can't remember the last time I had this...hm...someone needs to have a birthday so I can make this!
ReplyDeleteDo you have to make it in a bunt/angel food pan? Would it work in a regular glass pan?
yes you can make it in a glass pan. The Bundt pan just makes for a nice presentation. You don't have to wait for s brthday you could make this just because......there is no frosting so its kind of gilt free
