Ingredients
  

Cake batter

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cups Oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 package vanilla pudding mix(84 gram)- I use Osem
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 Tbs lemon juice- freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 1/4 cup amaretto liquor

Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar- powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbs. vodka
  • 1 Tbs. amaretto liquor
  • 1 Tbs. lemon juice

Instructions
 

Cake Batter

  • Mix together sugar and oil. I do this in the bowl of a stand mixer. Check eggs first(for blood spots and shells), and add to the bowl one at a time, beating in after each addition. Evenly sprinkle in flour and baking powder(don't dump it all in one spot). For the juice, add the Tbs. of lemon juice to your 3/4 measuring cup, and then fill to the top with orange juice. Add in rest of ingredients- pudding mix, orange+lemon juice, vodka, and amaretto liquor. Mix until smooth on medium speed.

Bake

  • Preheat oven to 350/175. Grease pans- spray is the best for even distribution! Pour batter into pans. I always make a small loaf pan or a couple cupcakes and then fill the large bundt. Then we can taste test without having to cut into the main cake! And who doesn't want some of this for breakfast? Bake for 35-40 min or until a toothpick comes out clean. (around 20 min for the mini loaf)

Glaze

  • Combine glaze ingredients and, when the cake is cooled, drizzle over.
