• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon water
• cooking spray
• 1 (18.5 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• 2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 6 mini loaf pans with cooking spray.

Step 3

Combine cake mix, pudding mixes, and 1/2 cup walnuts in a large bowl.

Step 4

Whisk 1/2 cup Irish whiskey, milk, and oil together in a separate bowl. Whisk in eggs. Pour over cake mixture and stir until blended. Divide batter among the prepared loaf pans.

Step 5

Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in brown sugar. Add remaining walnuts, 1 tablespoon whiskey, and water. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining whiskey.

Step 6

Cool cakes for 5 minutes before inverting a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Use a toothpick to poke small holes across the tops. Pour whiskey topping over cakes and leave to soak in as they cool.
