George Dickel Whiskey Cake





Cake:
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
5 to 7 oz. instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup George Dickel Whiskey (I’ve substituted Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort and Crown Royal with success)

Sugar Glaze:
1 stick butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup George Dickel Whiskey

Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour 12 inch Bundt or 10 inch tube pan. Place chopped nuts in bottom of pan. In mixing bowl, blend cake mix, instant pudding, water, oil, eggs and whiskey. Beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter over nuts. Bake approximately 1 hour or until cake top springs back when lightly touched. Let cool and invert onto serving dish, pricking the top of the cake with a toothpick. While cake is cooling, prepare glaze.

Mix butter, water and sugar together in saucepan. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add George Dickel Whiskey. Pour glaze slowly over cake, allowing glaze to absorb into cake.
