What You Need To Know Before Ordering Whiskey Cake - Tasting Table

Whiskey cake, as the name describes, is commonly baked with nuts, dried fruits, and of course some good, old-fashioned whiskey (via Rabbit Hole Distillery). This dessert is also known as tipsy cake, but according to Toriavey, this boozy treat won't actually get you drunk. After all, it is actually just a version of the English fruitcake, which, in and of itself, has quite a few recipe variations regarding the kinds of berries, nuts, and flavors used. But because this cake has no steadfast rule other than it must contain some form of cake and whiskey, you can adjust it to your tastes.

There are traditional aspects to the cake that are often followed for the sake of nostalgia. MasterClass states that some of the common factors between whiskey cakes are that Irish whiskey is either mixed into the cake's batter or soaked in it after baking and it is commonly cooked in a bundt pan or loaf pan. Otherwise, the cake can be chocolate, vanilla, caramel, yellow, etc., and topped with literally anything you set your mind to. And while that's all well and good, it means that when your friend invites you over for a slice or you order some from a bakery, you could end up with very different textured and tasting bakes.
