General's Wife's Cake

Straight from the general's wife's recipie box, this recipie is easy and delicious!

Ingredients:
  • 1 box cake mix (chocolate for dark cake, yellow for light cake)
  • 1 small box INSTANT pudding (again, chocolate for dark & one of the vanillas or cheesecake for the light)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup booze (Kahlua for dark or Amaretto for light)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • about 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Preparation:

Heat oven to 350. Grease & flour bundt pan. Put chopped nuts in bottom of pan. Mix the rest of the ingredients together & pour into pan. Bake 50-60 minutes. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes before pouring sauce over it.

Sauce - the good part!
  • 1 cube butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup booze - the same as you used in the cake
About 15 minutes before cake comes out of oven, start the sauce. Melt butter. Add water & sugar. Bring to boil, turn heat down & simmer about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep it from burning & sticking to the pot. Pour over top of cake after it has cooled for 10 minutes. Let cake cool for 2-4 hours before removing it from pan. Flavor increases if cake is allowed to set for 24 hours. Recently I've gotten creative & added Toffee bits into the cake. That really makes it good!! Chocolate chips would be good too.
