Spirit (Limoncello) Cake

We LOVE cake at my house, especially a not to sweet, super moist, full of flavor cake. This is the cake that is most requested by friends and my husband! I normally make it with Limoncello, but it can be made with your favorite spirit. We really like Orangecello or Bourbon and it makes a killer Rum cake!

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 cups Flour, I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free all-purpose
1 teaspoon Xanthum gum (only if making gluten free)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
Zest of 1 lemon
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 cup Limoncello or your favorite spirit

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time blending well after each. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add alternately with the liquid.

Put into a prepared bundt pan. (I use butter and  Bob's Red Mill Almond flour in my pan)

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean.

Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before turning out onto a cake plate. Poke holes in cake and pour glaze over the top. You will have what seems like a lot of glaze but the cake will absorb it.

Glaze:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup water or juice if you are making Lemon or Orange cake
1/4 cup Limoncello or your favorite spirit

Bring butter, sugar, lemon juice and water to a boil over meium heat. Allow to boil for 1-2 minutes, turn off heat and stir in Limoncello. Let it sit and cool while the cake is baking.

Enjoy!
