Tips:

Choose the right whiskey. A whiskey with a strong flavor, such as bourbon or rye, will give your cake a more pronounced flavor.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature, around 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent the cake from drying out.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Choose a frosting that complements the flavor of the whiskey. A chocolate or caramel frosting would be a good choice for a whiskey cake.

Conclusion:

Whiskey cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. With a little planning and effort, you can make a whiskey cake that will impress your friends and family.
