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.


1 cup butter
1 cup shortening
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup commercial dairy eggnog
1 cup flaked coconut
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Cream together the butter and shortening. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Using a spoon, add flour to creamed mixture alternately with eggnog, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in coconut and flavorings. Blend well. Pour batter into well-greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 1 1/2 hours. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Remove.

In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I have made this several times in the past and it is soooo good! It turns out super moist every time, no frosting or toppings needed!
