Time 1h45m

Yield 54

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boxes Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
2 boxes (4-serving size each) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
2 cups milk
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup whiskey
8 eggs
2 cups chopped walnuts
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups whiskey
1 box (1 lb) powdered sugar (4 cups)
2 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9 (5x3-inch) loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, beat cake mix, pudding mix, milk, oil, 1/4 cup whiskey and the eggs with electric mixer on medium speed 5 minutes. Add 2 cups walnuts; beat 1 minute (batter will be very thick). Divide batter evenly among pans.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Place pans on cooling racks.
  • While cakes are still warm, in another large bowl, beat melted butter, 1 1/2 cups whiskey and the powdered sugar with whisk until smooth. In bowl, reserve 1 1/2 cups icing; set aside. With bamboo skewer, poke holes in tops of cakes. Pour some of remaining icing over cakes; let soak in 1 minute. Repeat until all icing has soaked into cakes. Cool completely, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • To reserved 1 1/2 cups icing, add 2 cups walnuts. Spoon walnut mixture over tops of cakes. Cakes can be frozen, tightly wrapped.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can't seem to get it right. The cakes always turn out dry and crumbly.
