A 1972 article illustrated this point by saying “Harvey Wallbanger, the drink from the Galliano people that had attracted so much interest across the nation has been incorporated in an easy to bake cake”. In short, the 1970s went crazy for this cocktail.

Some offered the lure of a free t-shirt that featured the cartoon Harvey from the ads. Bars and restaurants were having Harvey Wallbanger nights. Think the Cosmopolitan during the Sex and the City days or the old-school cocktail Negroni which has gained huge popularity in the last few years. The cocktail itself was huge during this time period. Some recipes in the 1970s use an orange cake mix which is not always available at every grocery store nowadays. Then it is baked in a Bundt cake pan and then drizzled with a glaze. The cake mixes a box of yellow cake mix with the ingredients of the cocktail and a box of vanilla pudding. In case you were wondering Galliano is an imported Italian herbal liqueur with the main notes being anise and vanilla. What ingredients are in Harvey Wallbanger Cake?Īgain we are going to talk about the cocktail first which is simply made by mixing 1 1/2 ounces of vodka with 4 ounces of orange juice and then a 1/2 ounce of Galliano is floated on top by slowly pouring it over the back of a bar spoon. These crafty home cooks converted it for a bundt pan and then it spread like wildfire from potlucks to dinner parties and so on. I also wonder if many people saw the cake in the Sunbeam ad and wanted to make the cake but not buy the electric frypan. This recipe was probably created for marketing purposes to further promote the cocktail and/or Sunbeam fry pan. Though I think we can make some educational guesses. The earliest mention of the cake that I could find was in a November of 1972 promotional article for the Sunbeam electric frypan which includes a recipe for the cake. I feel like this is going to be a huge letdown as I wrote two whole paragraphs about the cocktail but I don’t know the answer to the question. So now on to the who and where was the cake created. The most likely theory and one that Sam Dangremond for his 2015 article in Town and Country magazine concurs by saying that the drink may have been “the result of corporate collaboration between Antone and George Bednar”. This mascot went on to be on all kinds of merch such as posters, t-shirts, and mugs. A new 1969 campaign was created with a surfer mascot named Harvey Wallbanger with the ads saying “Harvey Wallbanger is the name and I can be made!”. This all also coincided with a man named George Bednar becoming the marketing director of McKesson Imports who handled the importing of Galliano in the late 1960s. He could find no evidence of the bar and found proof that Donato Antone was not even living in California at the time. In a very detailed 2012 article titled Searching for Harvey Wallbanger for Saveur, author Robert Simonson went down the rabbit hole trying to verify the story. It is a funny little tale but many question the origin story of the cocktail. A few bars in southern California claim ownership of the drink but most stories point to Donato “Duke” Antone and his Hollywood Blackwatch bar. He had a bit too many and ended up stumbling into the wall. To console himself after, he decided to partake in some screwdriver cocktails (orange juice mixed with vodka) where he requested a shot of Galliano be added. The story goes that a California surfer named Harvey lost a surfing contest. We need to first talk about the origins of the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail. Who and where was Harvey Wallbanger Cake created? Though I have a deep love for citrus flavors so I was quite excited to test this one out. They both hail from working class blue-collar families so I am assuming that the kind of pricey Galliano liqueur it calls for was just never in the budget. Actually both my parents who became tweens in the early 1970s did not grow up with this cake either. As a kid the name thoroughly confused me, I never understood why someone would eat something called Harvey Wallbanger.
