    Hoot'N'Hollar Whiskey Cake


    Source of Recipe


    FROM THE SOUTHERN HERITAGE COOKBOOK

    Recipe Introduction


    A fine loaf cake. Don't think it was that speck of bourbon that made them "hoot n holler". Perhaps it was something they took with it!!!!


    CAKE
    1/2 C Butter, softened
    1 C Sugar
    3 Large Eggs
    1 C All Purpose Flour
    1/2 teas Baking Powder
    1/4 teas Salt
    1/2 teas Ground Nutmeg
    1/4 C Milk
    1/4 C Molasses
    1/4 teas Baking Soda
    1/4 C Bourbon
    3/4 Lb. Raisins
    2 Cs Chopped Pecans


    Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
    Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    Combine next 4 ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
    Combine molasses and baking soda; add to creamed mixture.
    Stir in remaining ingredients.
    Pour into a greased and floured 9x5x3 inch loafpan. Bake at 300 degrees F. for 1 hr. and 55 min. or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
    Refrigerate cake for easier slicing.
    Yield 1 loaf

    NOTES: If you add some coconut this will be similar to Jack Daniels Tipsy cake.

    Wrap the cake in cheesecloth and pour about ¼ cup bourbon over it and let it set in refrigerator for a few days to enhance the flavor.
