Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Liqueur Dessert Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (5 ounce) package instant French vanilla pudding mix
½ cup cold water
½ cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
½ cup whiskey
½ cup butter
¼ cup water
1 cup white sugar
½ cup whiskey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or tube cake pan. Sprinkle the walnuts evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Place the cake mix, pudding mix, 1/2 cup water, vegetable oil, eggs, and 1/2 cup whiskey into a mixing bowl, and beat until well blended with an electric mixer, about 2 minutes. Pour the batter over the nuts in the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is set and the top springs back when pushed slightly, about 1 hour. When the cake is completely cool, run a paring knife between the cake and the edge of the pan. Hold the cake pan on its side and gently tap the sides of the pan against the counter to loosen it. Cover the cake pan with a plate or cooling rack, and invert it to tip the cake out of the pan and onto the plate. Poke holes all over the top of the cake with a toothpick.
  • To make glaze, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, then pour in 1/4 cup water and the sugar. Stir the mixture together until smooth, and bring to a boil over medium-low heat; boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup whiskey. Let the mixture cool about 10 minutes, then pour the warm glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes in the cake.

WHISKEY CAKE



Whiskey Cake image

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons butter, plus more for buttering pan
Fine dry bread crumbs for dusting pan
1 3/4 cups sugar
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup bourbon whiskey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a bundt pan and dust with bread crumbs. In a mixer fitted with a paddle, beat butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar and lemon zest until fluffy and fragrant. Beat in vanilla and 2 eggs. Add remaining eggs. Beat again.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add half the mixture to the batter and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Add remaining mixture and mix again until almost smooth; the rest must be done by hand using a spatula.
  • Scrape the batter into the bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar with 1/3 cup water in a saucepan. Boil until bubbles grow small and make fine snapping sounds, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Stir in the whiskey.
  • When the cake is done, let it cool for a few minutes. Unmold onto a serving plate with a lip. (The whiskey may pool at the base.) Pierce the top of the cake in about 20 places with a skewer, then pour the whiskey syrup over it. Once the cake is cool, cover with plastic wrap. This cake is best served the next day.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality whiskey for the best flavor. A good bourbon or Irish whiskey will work well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the cake pan before baking. This will help the cake to come out of the pan easily.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag.

Conclusion:

Whiskey cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it plain or with frosting, whiskey cake is sure to please everyone at your table.
