Hennessy Cake Recipe

The recipe uses both Hennessy and strawberry as ingredients, making it a wonderful combo of flavors.I made it with fresh strawberries and cream cheese, and I know it would be wonderful with a bottle of Hennessy.

Ingredients
  

Shortcake
  • 4 cups flour
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick shortening
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 cup milk
Strawberry Preserve
  • 16 ounces strawberries tops removed (sliced)
  • 2 ounces Hennessy
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 juice of lemon
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry preserve or jam
Hennessy Whipped Cream
  • 1 ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons Hennessy

Instructions
 

  • Cut in the fat after combining the dry ingredients. Mix dry ingredients until they resemble coarse cornmeal. Pour wet ingredients into a measuring cup measuring ¼  cup (spray with cooking spray or rub oil inside to prevent sticking) and drop onto the baking sheet. Once golden brown, place shortcakes in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
  • Strawberries, Hennessy, and brown sugar will ferment for 10 minutes in a pot. Add other ingredients, turn heat to medium, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Then add the cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and Hennessy to the bowl. Using a medium-high speed, beat for 3 minutes.
  • To assemble, cut shortcakes in half, then spoon strawberry preserve over the bottom biscuit. Top the biscuit with more whipped cream and a dollop of whipped cream, then top with the top half of the biscuit.
