Time 1h45m

Yield 2 cakes, 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
8 large eggs
1/3 cup milk (whole milk for best results)
1/3 cup Bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  • Fold in half the flour, then fold in the milk, then the remaining flour, followed by the bourbon and vanilla.
  • Pour the batter into two lightly greased and floured 9-inch loaf pans and run the blade of a knife through the batter in an X pattern from corner to corner of the pans to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Place the pans in the center of a cool oven, leaving a space between them.
  • Turn the oven to 325F and bake for about 1 hour, until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cakes cool in the oven for 10 minutes.

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

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help ensure a smooth, light batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes on medium speed with a stand mixer or hand mixer.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. This will help prevent the batter from becoming too dense.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be sure to allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for a nutty flavor.
  • Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
