Tennessee Whiskey Cake

Ingredients

  • 1/2 stick butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup flour, sifted
  • 1/2 t. baking powder
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 1/2 t. cinnamon
  • 1/2 t. baking soda
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup sorghum or molasses
  • 1/4 cup Jack Daniel's

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.
Beat butter using a mixer at medium speed; gradually add sugars and beat until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Add to egg mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stop mixer and add sorghum. Restart mixer and slowly add whisky. Mix until smooth, about 30 seconds. (Batter will be thin).

Pour into a greased 9 inch springform pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

NOTE: I used baby bundts and just watched them -- they didn't take 35 minutes.
