HARD SAUCE
I remember making this sauce for my mom when I was about 8 years old. I loved the aroma and spicy flavor. Today, many cooks spread cream-cheese frosting on spice cake instead, but I think you're really missing something if you bypass this warm, old-time sauce. -Shirley Joan Helfenbein, Lapeer, Michigan

HARD SAUCE FOR CAKE

CINNAMON-APPLE CAKE WITH HARD SAUCE
Found online posted by Lisa Saltzman. Reminiscent of an old-fashioned plum pudding, this moist cake is bursting with cinnamon and apple flavor. It's served with a decadent hard sauce spiked with Grand Marnier for a nuance of orange. Sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar, if desired.

BLUEBERRY PUDDING WITH HARD SAUCE
The 'pudding' is really a cake, but this is what my grandmother always called it. It is topped with a butter-sugar sauce when served. I have never had anything as delicious in my life. It is not low- cal, but one of those rare indulgences worth the calories.
