Irresistible Irish Whiskey Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup Irish whiskey (plus extra for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup raisins or currants (soaked in whiskey)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to ensure easy removal later.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This may take about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the Irish whiskey and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the soaked raisins or currants and chopped nuts if using, giving your cake a delicious texture.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare a simple whiskey glaze by mixing together some powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of whiskey until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
