Number Of Ingredients 12

1 package spice cake mix with pudding (regular size)
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
3/4 cup 2% milk
3/4 cup whiskey
1/2 cup canola oil
4 large eggs
1-1/3 cups coarsely chopped walnuts, divided
GLAZE:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup whiskey
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300°. Grease and flour a 10-in. tube pan.
Combine the first six ingredients; beat on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes; fold in 1 cup nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan; sprinkle with remaining nuts. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 60-65 minutes. Cool in pan.
For glaze, mix all ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. Cool 3 minutes. Pour one-third of glaze over top of cake, allowing some to flow over sides. Let stand 1 hour. Remove from pan to cool completely; cover.
The next day, reheat glaze; brush half over cake, cooling before covering. Repeat the following day, using remaining glaze.
Yield: 16 slices.
Test Kitchen Tips;
This cake requires planning ahead, you'll need 3 days from mixing to ta-da!
To make sure your cake pops out perfectly, use solid shortening to grease both plain and fluted tube pans.
Also be sure to splurge on a good whiskey, a pint is perfect.
