Celebrating with Irish Whiskey Cake

Corned beef and cabbage and green


beer may be traditions of St.


Patricks Day, but how about


Chocolate Irish Whiskey Cake?


This particular Irish Whiskey Cake


is made with chocolate and is


deserving of a definite thumbs up


for the recipe. The cake is not


frosted or glazed, you wrap it in


foil and drizzle whiskey over it


every couple of days. The whiskey


doesnt overpower this delicious,


flavorful and moist cake, but it


does give it a definite zing!


This is a recipe you will want to


make again, even when there are no


shamrocks around.

IRISH WHISKEY CAKE


2 1/2 cups flour


1 tablespoon baking powder

3 eggs


1/2 cup strong black coffee


1/2 cup Irish whiskey


Cinnamon Whipped Cream, optional

Combine coffee and whiskey. Blend


the flour mixture alternately with


the coffee and whiskey mixture


into the creamed mixture,


beginning and ending with flour.


Beat well after each addition.


Pour into a well-greased


9-by-13-by-2-inch cake pan or tube


pan (we used a Bundt pan). Bake 35


to 45 minutes or until cake


springs back. Cool.


You can serve the cake as soon as


it cools with the accompanying


Cinnamon Whipped Cream. Or poke


holes in the cooled cake and


drizzle about 1/4 cup (less if you


wish) whiskey over the entire


cake. Wrap the cake with foil.


Allow cake to set overnight. The


next day repeat the whiskey


drizzle. Allow cake to set wrapped


in the foil for another 24 hours


before serving. For the final


drizzle, we combined about 1/4 cup


melted butter with the whiskey.

CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM


1 cup heavy cream


2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar


1 teaspoon cinnamon


Note: Put bowl and beaters in the


freezer for 15 minutes before


whipping cream.


Beat cream until frothy. Add the


sugar and cinnamon and beat until


cream is stiff.
