What to Serve with Penny’s Whiskey Cake?
Some Tips to Keep in Mind!
- Quality Whiskey: The choice of whiskey can significantly impact the flavor of your cake. Opt for a good quality whiskey like Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort, or Crown Royal to enhance the taste.
- Soaking Time: For an extra kick of whiskey flavor, consider soaking the chopped walnuts in a small amount of whiskey before adding them to the pan. This will infuse the nuts with a rich, boozy taste that will complement the cake beautifully.
- Mixing Technique: When mixing the cake batter, aim for a smooth and creamy consistency. Make sure to beat the ingredients together until they are well combined, but be careful not to overmix as this can lead to a dense cake texture.
- Proper Baking: To ensure your cake bakes evenly, preheat your oven and place the cake pan in the center of the oven rack. Keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time to prevent it from overcooking. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs when the cake is done.
