I don't remember my grandfather, Prince Albert Martin's Whiskey cake looking like this...but it was the best photo I could find...But it was a grand treat...He used to make this dish every year between Christmas and New Year...It brings back one of my fondest holiday memories....
INGREDIENTS:
2 & 2/3 cups of self raising flower
1 & 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of nutmeg
1 tsp of allspice
1/4 cup of butter
3 Eggs
1 Box of brown Sugar
1/2 box of raisin- (flour lightly)
1 package of English Walnuts( Chopped and flour)
1/2 pint of rum or whiskey. (Whiskey is better...I got that from him himself! LOL!)
DIRECTIONS:
Cream eggs and sugar together well.
Mix all dry ingredients together.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the eggs and sugar..
Stir well
Add the raisins and walnuts.
Bake at 360 degrees.
When the cake is done...pour more whiskey over it...don't drown it...while it's still warm..
Cover with a cloth and let it rest awhile!
Eat and enjoy!
I'd say a cup of coffee is perfect for this!
or some more whiskey
ReplyDeleteKeith, where did you get this recipe? I've been asking for it for years! Your mother gave me a version but it used boxed cake mix and I didn't like it. I knew PopPop didn't have access to a boxed mix. Aunt Bill has another version too! I'm going to try yours, as soon as the weather breaks. There's no way I'm turning on the oven in my little row house. It's an easybake oven itself!
ReplyDeleteArlene- This is Aunt Bill's version of the recipe!
