Ingredients

Cakes

Irish Whiskey Butter Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Irish whiskey
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps

  • 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.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you don’t have mini fluted tube cake pans, you can make one large cake instead. Use a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan and increase the baking time by about 30 minutes. Make sure to use a toothpick to check for doneness.
  • tip 2
    Garnish these Boozy Irish Whiskey Cakes with chopped nuts for extra flavor and crunchy texture.
  • tip 3
    If desired, you can make the sauce ahead of time and just reheat it prior to serving.
