18 Nov Nancy’s Whiskey Cake
Cake and booze, what could be better?
I have been eating this cake for as long as a can remember. How long? Long enough that I can remember feeling very grown up for being allowed to eat dessert with alcohol as the star ingredient.
In my point of view, being a 6 yr old who enjoyed the taste of whiskey made me preeettttyy sophisticated and worldly…even if it the bourbon is masked by chocolate, butterscotch and pudding.
I’m surprised that my parents didn’t sign me up for wine tasting classes right away. I could be a world-class sommelier by now with this bad boy of a palate.
The recipe was given to my mother by one of her very dear friends in the early 80’s. Proof: this recipe card is older than I am.
This cake is a moist, rich and chocolatey – the perfect finish to an autumn or winter dinner party. For an extra special touch, serve with Irish Coffee.
