Irish Whiskey Apple Cake would be great for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter or just anytime you need a great cake. You can decorate it any way you like and use your imagination. You could make several different colors of glaze, add some Easter eggs and make it totally different. This cake would be good just sprinkled with powdered sugar. I love it with coffee.
Irish Whiskey Apple Cake Ingredients Needed:
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt
Ground cinnamon
Ground nutmeg
Granulated sugar
Butter
Eggs
Vanilla extract
Buttermilk
Sour cream
Grated apples
Seedless raisins
Favorite Irish whiskey (you could use bourbon in this recipe as well)
Pecan or walnut pieces

Add some green food coloring to the glaze if you want to make this cake pop for St. Patrick’s Day! This is a great cake and wonderful to enjoy with friends and family. The apples really gives this cake a great moist flavor.
If you don’t want to use alcohol in this recipe you can easily leave it out, we have made it both ways and it’s delicious. Like one person commented, you can use apple sauce to soak the raisins or just water. Cakes are versatile for a reason, so you can enjoy this one either way.

Servings: 1 cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 12 tablespoon butter softened or 1 1/2 sticks

Glaze:

First of all soak the raisins in the whiskey. The longer they soak the better. Overnight or at least six hours is best. If you don’t use alcohol and want to make this cake, you can just soak the raisins in 1/2 cup water instead of whiskey.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl. Cream the sugar, butter and eggs in a mixing bowl using a mixer.
-
Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and continue mixing. Add vanilla extract, buttermilk, sour cream and apples. Mix. Fold in raisins along with any whiskey that was not absorbed and nuts.
-
Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 50 to 55 minutes or until center is cooked. You can use the glaze or any frosting you like.
