Milk Punch Cake
Remember, overbeating a homemade cake batter will toughen the cake. (You can't overbeat a cake mix, because they're formulated to be goof-proof.) For best results, have all ingredients at room temperature and mix in the flour until just blended through. If I were making this cake, I would mix in the eggs, one at a time, then fold in the flour.
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons bourbon whiskey or brandy
5 eggs
2 cups flour
1 generous teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a tube or Bundt pan.
Cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla and bourbon until fluffy. Add 1 egg and a little flour, beating constantly and continuing to add all eggs and flour a little at a time. Beat just until batter is smooth and creamy. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 50 minutes, or just until cake tests done. Cool completely before removing from pan.
Glaze
¼ cup melted butter
4 tablespoons bourbon whiskey or brandy
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients together until blended. Pour over top of cooled cake.
