\n<\/picture>\n\n\t\t\t\t Hi Bold Bakers!<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n WHY YOU\u2019LL LOVE THIS RECIPE: <\/strong>My buttery Whiskey Cake with Whiskey Caramel<\/strong> elevates an old-fashioned crowd-favorite dessert with boozy warmth and a luscious topping of silky, irresistible caramel sauce. This is the memorable (but easy!) party-ready dessert<\/strong> recipe you need!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Because Irish whiskey is a key ingredient here, you want to use the best whiskey available. I recommend O\u2019Driscolls Irish Whiskey<\/a> for its incredible smoothness<\/strong>, lovely, nuanced flavor, and gentle warmth<\/strong> that comes from triple distillation and aging in bourbon casks.\u00a0 O\u2019Driscolls Irish Whiskey<\/a> is owned Stafford Bonded, where my cousin, Michael J. Stafford, is the managing director (the company was created by our grandfather James Stafford and our fathers George Stafford Snr and Michael Stafford Snr.). Our recipes featuring O\u2019Driscolls Irish Whiskey<\/a> have been big hits, and I know you\u2019ll love our newer ones, including Irish Coffee Cake<\/a>, Brown Bread Ice Cream 2 Ways<\/a>, and Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce<\/a>.<\/p>\n This Whiskey Caramel Bundt is something truly special. Maybe it\u2019s the irresistible boozy warmth<\/strong>, the incredibly moist texture<\/strong>, or the way the golden cake shines under a glossy amber glaze<\/strong>. Most likely, it\u2019s all of the above! My top tip: Bring your cold ingredients to room temperature<\/strong> before mixing\u2014this ensures a smooth batter and prevents it from separating. And for the best flavor and texture, make this cake a day ahead. The wait is worth it!<\/p>\n Whiskey Cake with Whiskey Caramel<\/strong> is a rich, buttery bundt cake<\/a> infused with the warmth of Irish whiskey and vanilla, finished with a luscious whiskey caramel<\/a> drizzle.<\/p>\n Irish whiskey<\/a> is one of the oldest distilled spirits in Europe! The word \u201cwhiskey\u201d comes from the Irish, uisce beatha<\/em>, which means \u201cwater of life.\u201d\u00a0 Although Irish whiskey is ancient, it has become even more popular in recent years. Its renowned flavor and smooth taste have\u00a0made it one of the fastest-growing spirits in the world.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make this bundt cake without alcohol. Substitute an equal amount of gluten-free baking mix or my Easy Almond Flour Baking Mix. Yes, you can make this cake without eggs. <\/p>\n Prep Time <\/span>25 minutes<\/span><\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Cook Time <\/span>1 hour<\/span><\/span> hr<\/span> 10 minutes<\/span><\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Total Time <\/span>1 hour<\/span><\/span> hr<\/span> 35 minutes<\/span><\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n My Whiskey Cake with Whiskey Caramel is rich, moist, and topped with a sweet, boozy glaze\u2014an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert you’ll make again!<\/span><\/p>\n Author: <\/span>Gemma Stafford<\/span><\/p>\n

FAQs<\/h2>\n
Use the same amount of apple juice, milk, or buttermilk in place of the whiskey.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Check your other ingredients to ensure they\u2019re certified gluten-free.
Note that the texture and taste of the cake may differ from cake made from the original recipe.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
In this recipe, eggs emulsify the ingredients together, and give the cake structure and moisture.
For more tips, see my 12 Best Egg Substitutes for Baking and How to Use Them<\/a>
Good substitutes to use would be an additional 1\/2 cup of yogurt (1\/4 cup per egg), or 1\/2 cup of buttermilk, or flaxseed eggs (use one tablespoon ground flaxseed plus three tablespoons water per egg, mix and set aside for 5 minutes<\/strong> before adding to batter).
