TGIF: How to say "Happy birthday"

Pat McBride used to bake birthday cakes for us.
Pat worked with us at the Philadelphia Bulletin.
When one of us had a birthday, Pat baked.
Her speciality: A Harvey Wallbanger cake.
I made one this week for our crew at the Chronicle.
It was my wife’s (our publisher’s) birthday.
Here’s Pat’s recipe, with one small amendment.

Harvey Wallbanger cake
1 pkg. Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix Deluxe
3-oz pkg. vanilla instant pudding
4 eggs
4 oz. oil
2 oz. vodka
2 oz. Galliano
6 oz. orange juice
1/4 lb butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Galliano
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour bundt pan. Make batter with first seven ingredients and pour into a bundt pan. Bake 50 minutes. While cake is baking, melt butter in saucepan. Add sugar and stir over moderate heat until sugar dissolves. Mix in Galliano and set aside. Remove cake from oven and punch 100 holes in top with a toothpick. Pour warm sauce over cake, cover and allow sauce to penetrate over night. Turn cake onto serving tray and slice. Pour coffee. Enjoy.
Pat shared this recipe with us. Thanks, Pat.
Next week we’ll talk about finding friendly business models.
See you then.
