Here is the recipe for the Blackberry Wine Cake:

Bet you can substitute another fruit flavor wine of your choice:

3 oz pkg blackberry gelatin
3 eggs
3/4 cup Blackberry Wine
1 plain White cake mix
1/2 cup oil

In a large mixing bowl, blend the cake mix and gelatin thoroughly. Add the eggs, oil and wine. Blend on low speed until moistened. Continue on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl. Pour batter into a heavily greased Bundt pan and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Cool thoroughly before inverting pan to remove cake.

Glaze:

2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 cup Blackberry wine

Blend wine and sugar in saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil. Ingredients should be melted and syrupy. Let glaze cool until it reaches the consistancy of thick syrup.Pour over cool cake.

I had this cake served with fresh strawberries and blackberries filling the hole in the middle of the cake. The glaze was poured over the cake and fruit. It was delicious!!

Thanks...I checked Walmart for the jello, but they didn't have it. I'm going to have to check around. I may use black cherry if I can't find blackberry.
There are a lot of different jello flavors that would work with fruity wines.

When these "Top Shelf" recipes are added to the recipe area, there should be a new catagory called Top Shelf cakes. This way we can find them easier.

SquirrellyCakes now my seceret is out about what is in my feeder icon_lol.gif

I've always heard that when a recipe that contains liquor is cooked (heated) the alcohol is "burned-off" and therefore, children can be allowed to eat the food.

IS THIS TRUE?

I don't let my child have "lushed-out" truffles or liquor soaked cakes.

And, I'd be more concerned about my waistline than my blood alcohol level, if I ever ate to drunkeness. heeheehee -

And, just picture this: Cop pulls you over and asks, "How many drinks did you have ma'am/sir?" and your reply, "Well, I just had a couple of slices of the top-shelf cake. Really that's the truth, officer".

Haha, if you have ever eaten Jamaican Wedding Cake, you will know just how true this is! Love it!
Good question, recently there have been studies on how alcohol evaporates and these studies produced results very different to what was previously believed.

I found it to be a real eye opener.

Thank you for posting that -- I had seen a whole segment done on TV and when I tried to explain it to people they thought I had misunderstood! HA! icon_confused.gif It was my understanding that the fumes essentially burn off but the essence of the alcohol remains. Anyway, thanks again for posting that article! icon_smile.gif

I recently did a B52 cake that was plenty potent. It had layers with Irish Cream, Kahlua and Grand Marnier. Very Delicious but you knew it was booze filled.

I've made a Mimosa (orange juice and champagne) cake a couple times...it's divine. The first time I doctored a cake mix, the next time I doctored a scratch yellow cake. Both tasted good-depends on the texture you're going for.

For one white cake mix, follow box instructions except sub dry champagne and milk for the water (3/4 c champagne, the rest milk), then added 3 tsp of Lorann orange oil (one dram is 1 tsp), ½ tsp citric acid crystals and a little orange color. Then fill the cake with white chocolate mousse, and frost with buttercream. Mmmmmmmm, goooooooood.

I'm glad to see this thread! I've got some ideas brewing now, just need some guinea pigs!

Or a Mohito.. A white cake with lime zest added and then drizzled with a rum infused simple syrup filled with sweetened whipped cream with fresh mint and lime zest added and frosted with something good.. a whipped butter cream with lime juice and zest added..

What about using some Malibu Rum. They have all kinds of different flavors now. I know that Malibu rum and amaretto go great together with pineapple and cranberry. Yummy!

I have made a mudslide cake. It was delicious!!

Use a regular boxed cake mix (I used chocolate) and instead of using water, I used mudslide mix (the kind with the khalua already in it). Then when making the icing, instead of water or milk, I used the same mudslide mix again (it just didn't turn out white, so I colored the frosting).

I LOVE THIS POST!!! (I'd love some recipes too, please icon_biggrin.gif

I've made a coconut rum cake but to be honest I can't remember how icon_redface.gif I just kind of tossed a whole bunch of stuff together. It tasted great but the rum could have been stronger in it.
