Delicious Bundt Cake Recipe Using Whiskey

Although we’ve shared many cake recipes on the blog, such as our classic plum cake and this best tasting carrot cake and versatile zucchini cake; it is our first-ever bundt cake recipe. You’ll enjoy the lightness of this sweet Whiskey bundt cake recipe and if you don’t have any Whiskey; well you can easily substitute it for Rum instead.
