Whiskey Cake Recipe
I am looking for a fruit cake recipe like the one my brother used to do monthes.?
Mom would make fruit cake and store in October wrapped in gauze until Christmas time. I think instead of using liquor in the cake itself, she placed a glass of whiskey in the center of the cake before wrapping for storage. Anyone out there have a recipe?
