David thought I was hitting the Lone Star Beer just a little bit early in the morning! He didn’t really believe that I was in my right mind when I told him that I was adding it to my cake. When he tasted the cake, he loved it!
I’m finding all kinds of uses for his Lone Star Beer! He keeps it down at the dock and this morning when I passed him with a beer in my hand. I told him that I was going to make a cake with it. He laughed and asked how many beers I’d already had.
I hope you enjoy the video of my Julia Childs impersonation. When I was growing up, my mom and I would watch Julia Childs and laugh. My mom could do a great impersonation and whenever I cook with wine or beer, I fondly remember our times together.
The Real Texas Lone Star Beer Bundt Cake actually has the texture of a pound cake. I was wondering how it would taste to have some sliced strawberries, in the remaining beer (there isn’t that much left) with some sugar, mixed up and spooned over a slice…hmmm
Ingredients
1 package yellow cake mix
1 small package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup Lone Star Beer
1/4 cup Olive Oil
4 Eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Grease a 10″ Bundt Pan.
Combine cake mix and pudding mix in a large bowl. Add beer and olive oils and mix lightly. Add the eggs, beat at high speed until mixture is thick, creamy and smooth. Pour into the greased Bundt pan.
Bake at 350F degrees for approximately 45 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then either turn over for a true Bundt cake look, or turn over and then set back up. (Since I wasn’t frosting, I turned back up) Cool completely.

Now if you will take that cake and soak it in rum, let it set for a couple of days, you’ll have some GOOOOOOOD eatin’.
Looks and sounds good. As for left over beer. What left over beer? My plants can get their own.
If you want to make it West Texas style just add 1 tsp of dried ground jalapeno’s.
Walter’s Peanut Brittle
2 cups Peanut ( or what ever nut you want to use )
1 cup light corn syrup
2 cups sugar
3 Tbs Butter
1 Tbs Vanilla Extract
1 Heaping Tbs Baking Soda
Put in large pot 2 cups sugar and 1 cup light corn syrup bring to a boil stirring, then cook a few minutes and add the nuts cook on medium high stirring until temperature reaches 300 degrees using candy thermometer take off fire and add 3 Tbs butter and 1 Tbs Vanilla extract and keep stirring, when butter dissolves add baking soda and stir very quick and then pour out on large sheet of aluminum foil to cool. Do not spread out, it will spread out by its self and will be more like a cookie, light.
Enjoy Walter Horton
Maybe you can do something with that left over beer, perhaps mix with an emulsifier or sugar and pour over the cake?
