LIFESAVER CAKE

Lifesaver Cake image

Inspired once again by Anne Byrn the Cake Mix Doctor I have come up with a cake that tastes like a roll of lifesaver fruit candies. This is a moist sweet cake and serving it with a quality vanilla ice cream only enhances the flavor another notch! If you're having trouble locating the various extracts, contact your local Watkins dealer and I can assure you they will have them. In the meantime prepare yourself for sheer indulgence!

Ingredients

vegetable oil cooking spray, for misting the pan
flour, for dusting the pan
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
8 tablespoons butter, melted (1 stick)
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup hot water
8 tablespoons butter, cut up (1 stick)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 teaspoon butter flavor extract
1 teaspoon pineapple extract

Steps:

PREHEAT oven to 350 F; lightly spray a Bundt pan with vegetable spray and dust with flour.
COMBINE cake mix, pudding mix, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl; Blend with an electric mixer until the batter is thick and smooth; pour into prepared pan.
BAKE until golden brown, approximately 60 minutes; meanwhile prepare the butter glaze.
COMBINE sugar, hot water and butter in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat just until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves; stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes; remove pan from heat and stir in all the extracts.
REMOVE Bundt pan from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes; carefully invert onto a cake plate right side up.
POKE holes in the cake with a straw or use a cake syringe filled with the glaze slowly pouring or injecting the glaze directly in to the cake (depending on which method you use you may have glaze run-off, just soak up with a paper towel and discard) You want the cake to soak up as much as possible of the glaze; allow the cake to cool to room temperature before serving.
STORE in a glass dome at room temperature for up to 1 week.
