How to Make Irish Whiskey Cake
- Combine the whiskey and orange zest in a small bowl. Let sit for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to infuse. Then remove the orange zest.
- Add the sultanas to the whiskey mixture and let them soak while you prepare the cake batter.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 7-inch round cake tin.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a teaspoon of flour with each egg to prevent curdling. Mix well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the whiskey-sultana mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Irish Whiskey Cake!
