Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup Jack Daniel's whiskey
• 3 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup pecans (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and mix in the milk, Jack Daniel's whiskey, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then slowly temper them with the melted butter mixture by adding a small amount of the butter mixture to the eggs while whisking continuously. Once tempered, combine the egg mixture fully with the melted butter mixture.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan(s). Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake bakes, prepare the whiskey caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar and heavy cream over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in an additional splash of Jack Daniel's whiskey (about 1 tablespoon). Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 8

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Pour the whiskey caramel sauce over the cooled cake. If desired, sprinkle with pecans and a dusting of powdered sugar for garnish.

Step 10

Slice and serve. Enjoy responsibly!
