Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 3/4 cup whiskey
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• For the glaze:
• 1/4 cup whiskey
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• Optional: powdered sugar, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and whiskey. Mix until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the whiskey, sugar, water, and butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
9. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
10. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
11. Using a skewer or toothpick, poke holes all over the bottom of the cake.
12. Slowly pour the glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
13. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for garnish.
14. Slice and serve the delicious whiskey cake to enjoy its moist and flavorful taste.
