CHOCOLATE IRISH TIPSY CAKE

ATV 2018INGREDIENTS:
1 package chocolate cake mix
1 (3-4-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
3/4 cup Irish whiskey or bourbon, divided
1/2 cup cooking oil
4 jumbo or extra large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
whipped cream for garnish

DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, 1/2 cup Irish
whiskey, and oil, add eggs and beat at medium speed of an
electric mixer for 4 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as
necessary. Spoon into a greased and floured 10-inch bundt or
tube pan. Bake in a preheated moderate oven (350 degrees) for
45 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes
out clean. When cake is almost done, prepare syrup. Combine
sugar, butter, water, and lemon juice in a small heavy saucepan.
Bring to a boil slowly, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1/4 cup Irish whiskey
or bourbon. Turn cake out onto two large sheets of aluminum
foil placed together to form the shape of a cross. Let cake
cool for 10 minutes, top side up for tube cake and upside down
for bundt cake.

Using a skewer or long bamboo pick, make holes all over top
and sides of hot cake. Drizzle syrup very slowly over cake,
being careful that too much does not run into any cracks on
top of cake. Bring foil up around cake and wrap securely.
Cake may be served when completely cool, or store in an airtight
container overnight. Cake may be wrapped securely in foil and
stored in the refrigerator for several weeks or in a freezer
for up to six months. Serve with whipped cream.

Yield: 1 10-inch tube cake
