How to Make Jack Daniel S Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15.25 ounce) box of yellow cake mix and 1 (3.4 ounce) box of instant butterscotch pudding mix.
  3. Add 4 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of Jack Daniel's whiskey, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter.
  4. Beat vigorously by hand for 3-5 minutes, until well combined. (If using an electric mixer, mix on medium speed for 2 minutes, being careful not to overmix).
  5. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of butterscotch chips and 1 cup of pecans, reserving 1/2 cup of each for the topping.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved butterscotch chips and pecans evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
