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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. It was still tasty, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for.

This cake was a bit too boozy for my taste. I think I'll use less whiskey next time.

This cake was too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a less sugary frosting.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of whiskey, but I still really enjoyed this cake. The whiskey flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the cake itself was moist and flavorful.

This whiskey cake was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the whiskey adding a subtle warmth and smokiness. The cake was also incredibly moist and fluffy, thanks to the buttermilk and sour cream. I'll definitely be making t
