Tuaca Liqueur Cake Tempts Adult Tastebuds

Rum cake is an annual tradition for many, but other adult beverages are worthy of moving beyond the bar. Tuaca is a perfect example. This sweet amber colored brandy has a smooth finish with a hint of citrus and vanilla, making it an excellent dessert ingredient.

Taking a cue from the popular drink that combines Tuaca and pineapple juice, this easy cake recipe begins with a pineapple cake mix. Prepare a quick and easy sheet cake for a crowd or use decorative pans to create elegant mini desserts.

Easy Tuaca Pineapple Cake Recipe

canned or fresh pineapple

Prepare the cake mix as directed on the package. Grease and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan and bake the cake according to the package directions.

After removing the cake from the oven, prepare Tuaca glaze. Use a skewer to poke holes every inch or so in the top of the warm cake. Evenly drizzle half of the glaze over the cake. Let it soak in briefly and repeat with remaining glaze.

Allow the cake to cool completely. Cut into squares and garnish with chopped pineapple.
