Bacardi Cake

Here it is: the most delicious way to get drunk:

Ma's Bacardi Cake

Cake:
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 3 3/4 oz package of vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 crisco oil
1/2 bacardi rum

Glaze:
1/4 lb butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Bacardi rum

Cake:

Use a 10" tube or bundt pan.

Pre-heat oven to 325 F. Grease and flour the bundt pan.

Mix all the cake ingredients together. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour.

Cool on rack 10 minutes, then invert on serving plate. Brush glaze evenly on top and sides of the the cake.

Glaze: Melt butter in a saucepan. Stire in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in rum.

I also use extra glaze as a sauce on individual servings.

Eggnog

Well, it has come to this: I'm too lazy to go to the store to satisfy my eggnog craving.

But the upside is that it's unbelievably easy and cheap to make your own. I don't know why i even bother with that store bought crap.

NOTE: Storebought anything is never, ever, as good or as healthy as homemade / done fresh. So go wash your hands and start cooking.

Jadenog:

Pour about 750 mL of milk into a sauce pan over medium heat

In a bowl mix,

2 egg yolks, beaten
1 tsp real vanilla extract
3 tbsp honey (or to taste... experiment often)
1 tbsp brandy, rum or other such holiday booze.

Pour egg mixture into the milk, stirring constantly. Reduce heat.
Taste-test here. These are your flavours. Not sweet enough for you? Add a little more honey/sugar.

In another bowl, beat 2 egg whites until light and frothy. Fold into cooled milk mixture.

Put in a jar and refrigerate. It's delish. Grind a little nutmeg over the top of each glass you serve, from a real nutmeg if possible, not that pre-ground-to-dust crap (see note above).
