  1. I'm pretty sure this is the same recipe I first found in Southern Living. I promise, this will be one of the best cakes you've ever made! It's a very festive cake, great for Christmas or New Year's. Just for fun, you can just cook the glaze long enough to make a syrup, but leave of that alcohol in it. Trust me, this cake is a winner!
