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.

In a mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time beating well after each addition. Combine dry ingredients: add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stir in extracts.
Pour into three greased and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until cakes test done. Cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, beat butter in a mixing bowl until fluffy, add the next five ingredients and mix well. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beat until frosting has desired spreading consistency. Spread between layers and over the top and sides of cake.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

This is a HUGE recipe. I would suggest doing half and using 8" pans and doing just a double layer instead of the triple layer. Overall though, YUM!
