The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I have used this recipe for @ least 10 yrs with variations. I add 1 c applesauce to the batter when I add the jam. I usually use home-made jam which changes the texture of the batter & I also live in a high altitude then I add an additional 8-10 min baking time. This makes the cake more moist and it doesn't "dry out" as quickly. gk Bostic NC
