Recipe

Put all ingredients, except eggs, in electric mixer and beat for 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Pour into a well-greased and lightly floured pan. This may be either a tube pan, a baking pan or layer pans. It must have a 2 ½ quart capacity -- 3 quart, if part of the liquid is alcohol. Cooking time will depend upon the thickness of the cake and may take from 30-50 minutes at 350-deg. F.

The cake is done when it shrinks from the sides of the pan and a toothpick, stuck in the center comes out clean. Let cool 20 minutes before removing from pan. If you use a liquid glaze, prick the top of the cake and pour it over while the cake is still warm.

To make the Glaze: Dissolve ½ cup powdered sugar in ¼ cup fruit juice or wine. Heat ½ cup sugar in ¼ cup liquid until sugar dissolves. Cook ½ cup sugar, ½ stick of butter and 3 Tablespoons liquid, until sugar dissolves.
