This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This cake is absolutely fabulous. It is easy to make, slightly time consuming but not too bad. The taste of the cake is sooo good. The icing is also great. The two together are very rich, in my opinion this cake could feed alot more than 8 because you do not need big pieces at all. I have made it twice and both times, great!

I didn't make the cake, just the frosting for a spice cake. The only adjustments I made was adding 1 1/2 tsp maple and 1 tsp vanilla. Oh my goodness this frosting is fabulous!
