Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12 mini fluted tube cake pans with cooking spray.
2 In small microwavable bowl, stir coffee powder and 2 tablespoons whiskey with whisk until combined. Microwave on High about 10 seconds or just until warm; set aside.
3 In large bowl, beat cake mix, 1/2 cup butter, the eggs, 2/3 cup water and 1/4 cup whiskey with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Add coffee mixture. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly among cake pans.
4 Bake about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove cakes from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
5 In small heavy saucepan, mix sauce ingredients. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted.
6 To serve, place cakes on dessert plates; drizzle with sauce.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you don’t have mini fluted tube cake pans, you can make one large cake. Use a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan and increase the baking time by about 30 minutes, but still use a toothpick to check when it’s done.

Garnish the cakes with chopped nuts to add extra flavor and texture.

The sauce can be made ahead of time and then simply reheat it prior to serving.

To the reviewer asking for an espresso powder substitute... I just used instant coffee, added an extra tablespoon because I wanted a strong coffee taste.

This was actually a very good cake... I messed it up by using the sauce/glaze listed on the Easy Whiskey Cakes recipe. You really have to like the taste of whiskey to eat that. If I make again, I'll skip the whiskey glaze and just make a regular with butter and vanilla because I prefer just a hint of whiskey flavor.
