Amaretto Cake Recipe

Before making this Amaretto cake, check your bottle, does it say it is made with amaretto flavoring or is it pure amaretto.  If you get a chance, try Lazzaroni, a true Italian Amaretto!

And without further ado, here is the recipe from AllRecipes.com.

Ingredients you will need:

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

4 eggs

1 (5.1 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup amaretto liqueur

1 cup sifted confectioners'

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, instant vanilla pudding, water, oil, almond extract, and 2 tablespoons of the amaretto; blend together well. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and while it is still warm, poke holes in the surface. Drizzle with the Amaretto Glaze, insuring that some of the glaze fills the holes. Let the cake cool for at least 2 hours before removing from the pan.
4. To make Amaretto Glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar, and combine it with the remaining 1/2 cup amaretto. Blend until smooth. You may add more amaretto as needed.

Eggnog Drink Recipes

I remember the first time I tried eggnog.  For some reason, I thought it would taste good with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum....I was right. 

So, for my favorite eggnog drink recipe, it is pretty basic. 

3 parts eggnog (store bought non-alcoholic eggnog)
1 part Captain Morgan Spice Rum

Mix ingredients together thoroughly.  Drink and enjoy.

However, if you want to get serious, you can make your own homemade eggnog.  This one, I picked up from About.com.  It makes about 16 drinks and the prep time is about 25 minutes.

Ingredients you will need:

• 6 eggs, separated
• 1/2 cup super fine sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups brandy
• 1 cup milk
• Nutmeg (use for garnish also)

1. Beat egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, nutmeg, salt and vanilla together until very thick and light yellow.
2. Slowly beat in brandy (rum and whiskey are also popular alternatives) and milk.
3. Cover and chill overnight.
4. Shortly before serving, beat the egg whites to soft peaks.
5. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beat this mixture to soft peaks again, creating a meringue-like cream.
6. Then slowly pour this cream over the chilled brandy mixture, folding in gently.
7. Serve the eggnog in a mug or punch cup and grate nutmeg over the top for garnish.

To make your life easier, you might try a premixed eggnog, that already includes the alcohol like the Pennsylvania Dutch Eggnog. (Note:  In Indiana we call the Pennsylvania Dutch, Amish.)  Pennsylvania Dutch Eggnog is a blend of whiskey, rum and brandy blended with fresh dairy cream. 


Visit SeriousEats.com for a dozen ways to upgrade your eggnog.  Those folks have a lot of great ideas!

 

Pina Colada Drink Recipe

There are a number of drink mixes for pina Coladas, however if you would like to make one homeade.  Here is a great homeade Pina Colada Drink Recipe for you!

1 ounce white rum

1 ounce coconut cream
2 cups chopped pineapple
