Jack Daniel's Cake

"This has been my 24 year old son's favorite and most requested cake since he was about 10 - he is a butterscotch lover. It is really good - make sure you get the bottom/topping - it's what makes the cake! Being from Texas, I usually use pecans instead of walnuts. NOTE: If you want to use an electric mixer, be careful to not overbeat the cake."

  1. I made this for a birthday party and it was a hit! I tried to cut calories a bit and used egg substitute and sugar free pudding. I used my mixer a bit to combine the cake mix, pudding and wet ingredients. The mix was thick due to the pudding. I used a spoon to mix in the nuts and chips. The batter needs to be spread out in the pan. I cooked it for 45 mins and it was great. A sure keeper recipe.
     
  2. Happy husband. (And a great way to use up all that Jack I bought for his rib glaze!) I totally didn't beat it by hand, lazy. Went slow and steady on my mixer. Turned out fine for me. I only had to bake 40 min. Used pecans in place of walnuts.

  4. I used pecans instead of walnuts and baked this in a sheet pan. Wonderful. Next time I will use a bundt cake pan. Made for PAC 2008.

I am a surgical nurse in Pearland, Texas mother of three grown boys, recently married to a man with two daughters, one age 13 and one age 21. <br>I enjoy cooking and trying new things - I am always on Zaar looking for new things to try! My boys have always been used to new tries in the kitchen - both the failures and the successes. My husband was more of a tried and true cook, but has really gotten into trying my kitchen experiments and is having fun doing the same with his grilling. <br> <br><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
