How to Make Whiskey Cake Cake Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix according to package directions, adding 1/2 cup whiskey, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and 2 large eggs.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer for 5 minutes, or until well combined and smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This should take about 30-40 minutes.
  6. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup whiskey, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  7. Once the cake is completely cool, slowly pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let it set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
