This is a very popular cake — easy, tasty, but full of ingredients that are not good for you. I redid the whole recipe using less sugar and oil, and substituting ingredients that are healthier for you. I served this to guests from the States on Shabbat once and they did not believe that it wasn’t the “real thing.” Surprise your family, too!
1 and 1/3 cups sugar, preferably cane sugar
2 cups 70% whole wheat or whole wheat pastry flour, such as Shibolim White Whole Wheat Flour
1 package (4-5 tablespoons) vanilla pudding mix
generous pinch of salt
4 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup Gefen Unsweetened Applesauce
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup Lvov Vodka
1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur
confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients.
Pour the batter into a Bundt pan.
Bake for 45 minutes.
Invert and cool. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Rate this recipe?
Flour Can I use white flour instead of whole wheat? And should I substitute in equal amounts?
You should be able to do – just use approx 1 tbsp extra for every cup called for of all purpose.
Substitute for vodka What can i substitute for vodka ?
Try white grape juice or apple cider combined with lime juice, or just use plain water in it’s place.
great cake, even with substitutions This came out exactly how I wanted. I didn’t have amaretto or vodka so I googled and used water with vanilla and water with lime juice and it totally worked (though I do think the amaretto flavor would have been better.) But the texture and taste were great. I loved that it’s relatively healthy compared to most cakes and still tastes great. I would definitely want to make it again.
