Whiskey Butter Cake Recipe (but it can be any flavor!)

The Fir Eats / Cara Cormack

This whiskey cake is a super moist and soft vanilla cake that is lightly infused with whiskey. The crispy sugar crust gives way to a luscious pillowy interior. The brown butter icing starts as a glossy liquid caramel and cools to a praline-like matte finish.

While you can definitely taste the whiskey in this cake it’s not overly alcoholic. The real star of the show is the browned butter frosting its nutty flavor complementing the toasted caramel flavors of the brown sugar. The recipe makes enough frosting that you can drizzle half of it over the cake and save the rest for serving (trust me you’ll want some with every bite).
