PENNY'S WHISKEY CAKE

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.

EASY WHISKEY CAKES

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.

IRISH WHISKEY CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper. Grease the pans using butter or a spray and dust with flour. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer or using a handheld mixer, cream the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. It will begin to pale in color, too.
• Add about one third of the beaten eggs, and continue to beat medium speed.
• Now add about a third of the sifted flour. Repeat this step, then add the rest of the eggs and mix well. Turn the mixer to low and add the final flour and the whiskey and mix until well combined, but do not over mix.
• Using a scale, divide the mixture evenly between the two tins and place in the center of a preheated oven for about 35 minutes. If you don't own a scale (I highly advise it for best baking results) just eye it. Since ovens vary greatly, do not open the oven until you start to smell the cake and it looks well risen (through the glass).
• Carefully check that the cake is done with a cake tester or thin skewer. If it is too raw, the cakes will fall and you won't be happy, so the previous step is important. When the cake is done, remove them from the oven and allow to cool before removing from the tins.
• To remove: place a cooling rack over the top of the cake and flip it over quickly. Remove the tin and the parchment paper and allow to cool completely before filling.
• Make the whiskey buttercream by mixing all of the ingredients together in a bowl until a smooth spreading/piping consistency is formed.
• Using a cake leveler, or large serated knife, place the cake layers, flat side down on the counter and slice off the top to make them even.
• Save or freeze the leftover cake to make trifle(s)!
• Place one layer, CUT SIDE UP on a serving plate or cake stand and spread or pipe the whiskey buttercream over the top. I used a 2D tip if you wanted to do the same.
• Top with the second layer, but this time, CUT SIDE DOWN.
• Put all of the glaze ingredients except the whiskey into a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before adding the whiskey. Stir and check the consistency before pouring over the cake: it should be a bit more thick than it was when hot, but not so cool/thick that it won't run off the edges of the cake.
• Pour over the cake and allow to run slightly down the edges. Decorate with some clover if you have it (for St. Patrick's Day).
• Slice and serve.

MOTHER'S WHISKY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees and position rack in center.
• Spread solid shortening on bottom and sides of a 9-inch (6 1/2-cup capacity) tube pan. Dust pan evenly with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl with a sturdy spoon, or in an electric mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle (to avoid whipping excess air into the batter), beat the butter until soft and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until very light and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
• By hand or with the mixer on lowest speed, gradually stir in the flour mixture. Blend well.
• Turn batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until cake is well risen and golden on top, and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
• While cake bakes, prepare whisky syrup by combining butter and sugar in a small pan. Set over low heat and stir until butter melts. Remove from heat and stir in whisky.
• As soon as cake is removed from the oven, set the pan on a wire rack. Use a thin skewer or cake tester to prick holes all over the cake. Pour warm syrup over the hot cake and allow it to cool completely in the pan. When it is cold, top with a plate, invert and lift off pan. Sift on confectioners' sugar.
