Jacks Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Mix butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add in dry ingredients, which should have been mixed together, sour cream and whiskey. Stir in pecans.
• Turn into a greased and floured 10" tube or bundt pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 75 minutes or until a tester or toothpick comes out of the cake clean.
• Cool the cake and pour the icing over the top. Let sit for at least one day. Keep in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• In a very large saucepan, heat and stir the water, Jack Daniels whiskey, coffee powder, butter and cocoa until the butter melts.
• Remove from the heat and beat in the sugar.
• Cool slightly and whisk in the eggs, blending thoroughly.
• In a bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder.
• Beat into the chocolate mixture until incorporated.
• Stir in the pecans.
• Turn the batter into a greased and floured 9 inch tube or bundt pan.
• Smooth top with a spatula.
• Bake in a 325 oven for 60-75 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean).
• Immediately sprinking with the 2 Tbsp of Jack Daniels whiskey.
• Let cake cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove from cake pan.
• Serve with gobs of fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350-375 degrees, depending on how your oven bakes (it's different for everyone!).
• Melt chocolate and set aside to cool down a bit.
• Dissolve the coffee granules in the boiling water. When dissolved, stir in the cold water. Add the whiskey and set aside.
• In a large electric mixer, cream the butter, vanilla, and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the chocolate.
• With the mixer on low, add the flour alternating with the coffee/whiskey mixture.
• ****The batter WILL BE THIN & RUNNY.**** Do NOT add more flour.
• Pour into two prepared loaf pans (I always make one small and one large-one to keep, one to give away.).
• Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about an hour to an hour and a half. Cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when serving.

Steps:

• Mix cake and pudding mix together.
• Add eggs, milk, whiskey and magarine.
• Beat long and hard BY HAND.
• Add butterscoth mosels and nuts, reserving 1/2 cup of each.
• Pour batter into greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan.
• Sprinkle remaining morsels and nuts over batter.
• Bake @ 350 degrees 45-60 minutes.

Steps:

• For the filling:
• Put the apples, brown sugar, cider, and applejack in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the apples and reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid. Set aside.
• For the cake:
• Position the racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat two baking sheets with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk and vanilla.
• In large bowl, with an electric mixer at medium-high speed, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the molasses, beating until incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until incorporated. Gradually add the buttermilk (the mixture will look curdled); add the flour mixture and mix until a soft dough forms-it should look like cookie dough. Remove the dough from the bowl, pat into a round, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, about 8 1/2 ounces each. On parchment paper, roll portions of dough into circles about 1/4 inch thick. Use an 8-inch cake pan as a guide to trim into uniform 8-inch circles. Bake one circle on each prepared sheet until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating and switching the baking sheets halfway through baking. Transfer the circles to cooling racks and let cool completely. The cakes will harden and set as they cool. Repeat with remaining dough. Reroll scraps to form a seventh layer.
• Place the first layer on a serving plate and spread with 1/4 cup of the apple butter. Arrange one-sixth of the cooled cooked apples on top of apple butter and top with another layer of cake. Repeat with the remaining filling and cake layers, ending with a cake layer on top. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until the layers soften, at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
• For the glaze:
• In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, reserved apple cider mixture, and the molasses. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes, then pour the glaze over the top of the cake. Slice and serve, or store the cake, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
