Irish Whiskey Layer Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 6 mini loaf pans with cooking spray.
• Combine cake mix, pudding mixes, and 1/2 cup walnuts in a large bowl.
• Whisk 1/2 cup Irish whiskey, milk, and oil together in a separate bowl. Whisk in eggs. Pour over cake mixture and stir until blended. Divide batter among the prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in brown sugar. Add remaining walnuts, 1 tablespoon whiskey, and water. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining whiskey.
• Cool cakes for 5 minutes before inverting a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Use a toothpick to poke small holes across the tops. Pour whiskey topping over cakes and leave to soak in as they cool.

Steps:

• Place the raisins, lemon rind, and whiskey in a small bowl and let them soak overnight. Line bottom of an eight-inch square cake pan with parchment paper that is buttered and dusted with flour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift the flour, salt, cloves and baking powder into a bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and beat well. Quickly beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the soaked raisins.
• In a separate clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the mixture. Pour this into your prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake thoroughly on a wire rack.
• To make the glaze: Mix the lemon juice with the sifted powdered sugar and just enough whiskey and warm water so that you can drizzle icing over the cake.

Steps:

• Make coffee, then pour into a pot and add sugar, cook till thicken, then add whiskey.
• Remove from heat, and let cool.
• Drissle the cake bottoms with the coffe mix, top with whipping cream.
• Add a layer, drissle, top and so on, on every layer throughout the cake.
• Decorate with piped whipping cream, shaved chocolate and instant coffee over cake.
• Let sit one day.
