Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Southern Comfort whiskey
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Southern Comfort whiskey (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard bundt pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Southern Comfort whiskey, whole milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Then, increase the speed to medium and continue beating for 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, Southern Comfort whiskey, and whole milk in a small bowl until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 10

Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to run down the sides for a decorative effect.

Step 11

Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
