GRANDMOTHER MONAHAN'S IRISH WHISKEY CAKE
From: Stone Gate Bed & Breakfast
FOR THE CAKE:
2 cups golden raisins
3 tablespoons grated lemon rind
1/2 cup whiskey
12 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 eggs, separated
FOR THE ICING:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Juice of one lemon mixed with a little warm water and whiskey
Place the raisins, lemon rind and whiskey in a small bowl and let them soak
overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom of an eight inch cake pan with parchment paper that is buttered and dusted with flour.
Cream the butter and sugar together; set aside.
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cloves into a bowl. Begin to slowly beat the egg yolks into the butter and sugar mixture. As you add the egg yolks, gradually add both the flour mixture and the raisin/whiskey mixture. Mix well but do not overbeat.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the mixture. Pour this into your prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours. Cool the cake thoroughly on a wire rack.
TO MAKE THE ICING:
Mix the lemon juice with the sifted confectioners' sugar and just enough whiskey and warm water so that you can drizzle icing over the cake.
