Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup Old Grand Dad bourbon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Old Grand Dad bourbon (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour a bundt pan or tube pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a measuring cup, combine the milk, 1/2 cup Old Grand Dad bourbon, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the bourbon milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup Old Grand Dad bourbon, and water. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the cake is out of the oven, allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack.
While the cake is still warm, brush it generously with the bourbon glaze, allowing it to soak into the cake.
Let the cake cool completely, then slice and serve. Enjoy the rich flavors of this bourbon-infused treat!
