Great recipe. I actually used butter pecan cake mix and pecans as the nuts....everyone at work devoured it and request it often.

This cake is phenomenal and turned out so well. I made it for Thanksgiving and it vanished. :) I used Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition, which blends so well with sweet and put the cake in the frig overnight. It's already been requested for Christmas. :)

This recipe was easy to make. I'm from Kentucky and decided to use bourbon instead of Irish whiskey. You have to let it set for about 5 day before eating it. Everyone was crazy about it! I just made my second one.

This was awful -- I didn't star it because I'm not sure if it was me or the recipe. I had great luck with Whiskey Cake #96446 but wanted to try this one because it had fewer eggs. At 45 minutes in the oven it looked overdone and was shrinking away from the sides. After it sat with the sauce on overnight, I tried to get it out of the pan and the bottom stuck to the pan. Then it was very soggy when I cut it. Maybe I should have left it in the oven longer, but it looked like it was going to get burned. Sorry I don't have a better review.

My 12 yr. old and I made this cake for St. Paddy's day. We used pistacio pudding to make it green, and pecans instead of walnuts. It was great! My 19 yr. old said it was one of the best cakes he'd ever eaten.
