German Eierlikörkuchen (Egg Liquor Pound cake)
Eierlikör is a creamy liquor with texture like Eggnog and a custard-like flavor. The alcohol level is between 14% and 20%. Most of the time it is a blend of egg yolks, rum, brandy, vanilla sugar and cream (evaporated milk). Brands of Eierlikör you can find easily are Advocaat and Verpoorten. You can make all kinds of delicious cakes and sweets with it like Trüffels, Cakes, and Tiramisu. I love the taste of it in the cake. Here is my favorite recipe my mother always made.
