Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I picked this up on the Internet last year and finally got around to making it. It's wonderful,rich and delish. Better than the old Harvey Wallbanger cake, remember those? Donna Screwdriver Carrot Cake CAKE 5 tb Grated orange rind 1/2 c Vodka 1 c Butter, softened 2 c Sugar 4 Eggs, beaten 1 ts Vanilla 3 c Flour, sifted 3 1/4 ts Baking powder 1/2 ts Salt 1 ts Cinnamon 1/4 ts Nutmeg 1/4 ts Allspice 1 1/2 c Carrots, raw, grated 1/2 c Pecans, chopped GLAZE 2 c Powdered sugar 2 ts Orange juice 1/2 ts Orange extract 4 ts Vodka 2 tb Light corn syrup Stir grated orange rind into vodka and set aside. Cream butter, gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in beaten eggs and add vanilla. Sift the dry ingredients together, then blend into the batter, alternately with orange-vodka mix. Add carrots and chopped pecans. Bake in buttered, floured 10 " tube or Bundt pan in preheated 350~F oven until cake tests done, about 1 hour. Cool in pan on rack for 15 minutes, turn out, finish cooling on rack. Make glaze by combining powdered sugar, orange juice, vodka, orange extract and light corn syrup and beating until smooth. Spoon glaze over top of cooled cake, then spread evenly with knife. If desired, sprinkle with more chopped nuts.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I only found out last week what a bundt was when A Big Fat Greek Wedding was on the TV. I don't believe we have these tins over here - would this work in a normal cake tin, Donna?
