Liqueur-Flavored Desserts

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

CAKES: Add Orange Brandy Cordial, Sour Cherry Vodka, or any of the
raspberry cordials to flavor chocolate cake; Hazelnut liqueur, Almond
Liqueur, or Coffee Liqueur to flavor sponge cakes; and, of course, Orange
Brandy Cordial to flavor orange cake. Almond Liqueur is a nice touch in
flourless chocolate cake recipes that call for almonds. After a cake has
baked - and is still warm and still in the pan - poke holes across the top
with a tester or toothpick. Pour about 2 ounces of liqueur over and allow
it to drip down into the cake. Don't forget the possibilities of flavoring
frostings with liqueurs; adding a little Coffee Liqueur to chocolate, for
example, makes a mocha frosting.
BROWNIES: Infuse a batch of fudge brownies with Almond Liqueur following
the directions above for cakes.
PIES: Apple pie is better than Mom's when you first toss the apples in 1/2
cup Orange Brandy Cordial, and berry pies of all persuasions benefit from
tossing the berries in 1/2 cup Raspberry Vodka Cordial, Raspberry Brandy
Cordial, or a blend of the two.
FRESH FRUIT: Everybody's favorite, strawberries, takes on a new dimension
when macerated (soaked) for 2 hours in Orange Brandy Cordial. For fruit
compote, add a jigger of Blackberry or Raspberry (Vodka or Brandy) Cordial
for every 6 cups of fruit and top with a generous dollop of Creme Fraiche.
