*Grease and flour tube pan & pre-heat
oven to 325 degrees.
*Combine cake and pudding mixes with
whiskey and eggs, beating well.
*Beat in milk and oil.
*Toss walnuts in flour and fold into
batter.
*Pour into a greased and floured
10 inch tube pan.
*Bake at 325 degrees for 55 to 60
minutes. Remove from oven and leave in the pan while preparing glaze.
Glaze:
*Heat together butter, sugar and
whiskey on medium heat until butter is melted, sugar dissolves and
mixture bubbles.
*Pour hot mixture over cake
still in pan. The cake must not rise above edges of the pan. If it does
this, trim around edges. (That will happen if a smaller pan is used).
*Cool in pan for 2 hours.
*At the end of 2 hours, invert
pan and remove cake onto cake dish. It may come out slowly, so
allow time for it to slide out.
*Wrap in plastic wrap and
refrigerate for 24 hours. Whiskey will continue to soak into cake.
*When ready to serve, sprinkle
with powdered sugar.
This cake can be
made one week ahead if wrapped and refrigerated. It improves with aging.
