Anybody have an easy recipe for a "high alcohol" content cake?

Question

I've been asked to bring a dessert type cake to a friend's party. This friend enjoys his liquor. ALOT. So I'd like to bring some kind of Boozy cake or something. HELP

Answer 1

Or you can take a regular cake mix, make the cake, and while it is still hot, heat some butter in a skillet, add powdered sugar and a little of your brandy (if you have it) - just enough to allow the sugar to dissolve. Then add a little more and just barely heat (won't evaporate the alcohol). Then poke holes in the hot cake and pour the icing over it. That should do the trick. You can do that with either chocolate cake, white, or yellow cake. You want to be careful using the booze, though, because too much and none of the other guests will want it.

Ooooh yes. My favorite holiday

Answer 3

Go online and look for a Trifle recipe. They're pretty easy to do, with layers of fruit, cream, cake bits, and soaked in sherry. Very potent.

Good luck!

I've made this many times. There is no need to toast the nuts. Sometimes I use walnuts, sometimes pecans, both good!! Also, you can use an angel food cake pan for this.
