Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Whiskey
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.75 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Whiskey (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease a bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray, then lightly flour it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whiskey and buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry mixture (3 additions of dry, 2 of wet). Mix just until combined and smooth.
Fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts using a spatula.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the surface with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar, whiskey, heavy cream, and melted butter in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and pourable. Add more cream if needed to thin the glaze.
Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the whiskey glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Whiskey Cake a.k.a Bundt Surprise!
