Irish Whiskey Layer Cake

Submitted by Scandigirl

"This was a wonderful layer cake given to me by my first boyfriend's mother, Ellen, in Denmark back in the mid 60's. I made it with our children's help for many years as a birthday cake for our Daddy, and he felt so spoiled! It sure was the highlight of his annual birthday celebration."
