Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens
-
tip 1
If you don’t have mini fluted tube cake pans, you can make one large cake instead. Use a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan and increase the baking time by about 30 minutes. Make sure to use a toothpick to check for doneness.
-
tip 2
Garnish these Boozy Irish Whiskey Cakes with chopped nuts for extra flavor and crunchy texture.
-
tip 3
If desired, you can make the sauce ahead of time and just reheat it prior to serving.
