"YUM. Bourbon in a cake. Got this from my mom--it would be great for holidays like Christmas and New Years!"

2 cakes

- 3 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

- Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

This was a very good cake. However, I think adding 1/2 the sugar as brown sugar would really rich up this cake! I am going to bake again with brown sugar and pecans!
