Jack Daniel's Chocolate Birthday Cake

Makes a 9" tube cake

1-1/2 c. water
1/2 c. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whisky
1 T. instant coffee
2-1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. coarsely chopped pecans
2 T. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whisky

For serving: gobs of whipped cream or vanilla ice
cream

In a very large saucepan, heat and stir the water,
1/2 c. Jack Daniel's, coffee, butter and cocoa until the butter melts. Remove from the
heat and beat in the sugar. Cool slightly then whisk in the eggs, blending
thoroughly.

In a bowl,stir together the flour, baking powder and
salt, using a whisk to blend completely. Beat into the chocolate mixture until
incorporated. Stir in the pecans.

Turn the batter into a greased and floured 9" tube
pan. Smooth the top of the batter
with a spatula.

Bake the cake on the middle level of a preheated
325 degree oven for 60-75 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.
Immediately sprinkle with the 2 T. Jack Daniel's. Let cool on a rack and then
removvee the cake from the pan.

Note: The cake is so rich it doesn't need any icing,
but it doesn't hurt to serve it with lots of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. It's
also good warm, right out of the pan.
