Ingredients

  • cup butter 
  • ounce cream cheese softened
  • large eggs at room temperature
  • tablespoons flour all-purpose
  • 0.1 teaspoon mace 
  • cups self raising flour 
  • teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 1.5 fluid ounce irish whiskey

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a tube pan.
  2. Beat the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the sugar until well blended. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
  3. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the 2 tablespoons flour with the last egg. Stir in the remaining 2 cups flour until just combined; stir in the mac, vanilla, and whiskey.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
