Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325ยฐF (160ยฐC) to ensure it’s ready when your batter is prepared.
-
Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix, eggs, 1 ounce of whiskey, milk, oil, and walnuts. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Prepare the Bundt Pan: Grease and flour a tubed bundt pan, ensuring that every nook and cranny is coated to prevent sticking.
-
Bake the Cake: Pour the prepared batter into the bundt pan and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare the Glaze: Towards the end of the baking time, while the bundt is in the oven, take a saucepan and combine the butter, sugar, and 1 cup (8 ounces) of whiskey. Bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop.
-
Glaze the Cake: As soon as the bundt is removed from the oven, pour the boiling glaze mixture over the top of the cake. The heat from the cake will help the glaze seep into every delicious crevice.
-
Let it Set: Allow the cake to cool and set for 2 hours at room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Chill before Serving: After the cake has set, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it chill until you’re ready to serve. This step enhances the texture and makes it easier to slice.
Enjoy the delightful flavors and the intriguing history behind this beloved Whiskey Cake, or as it’s affectionately known, Bundt Surprise! It’s a true testament to the creativity that can arise from unexpected moments in the kitchen.
