Steps:

  • 1. PLEASE NOTE: I used all American measurements, & names instead of the metric or Imperial measures. This is my version of the original recipes with the changes I made.

  • 3. Add Raisins to a small bowl.
  • 4. Pour Irish Whiskey over raisins and stir.
  • 5. Grate the zest of one lemon over raisins. Cover and microwave 3 minutes.Stir and microwave an additional 2 minutes, set aside then allow to cool till needed.
  • 6. Separate 4 large eggs. Set aside till needed.
  • 7. Add flour, salt, baking powder, cloves to a separate bowl, then stir to blend and set aside till needed.
  • 8. Beat egg whites till stiff peaks form and set aside till needed. NOTE: IF IT IS A RAINY DAY WILL NOT GET REAL HIGH STIFF PEAKS.
  • 9. Add softened butter & brown sugar to a large bowl.
  • 10. Beat till blended. Then add one yolk, and beat again.
  • 11. Add about 1/3 of flour to batter & beat again.
  • 12. Repeat alternating with egg yolk and flour till all flour has been added.
  • 13. Add raisin mixture to batter and stir to blend. Fold in beaten egg whites, and fold into batter till blended fully.
  • 14. Pour cake batter into prepared pan.
  • 15. Smooth out top with spatula or back of spoon.
  • 16. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until wooden toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Leave in pan 10 minutes then invert onto baking rack to cool completely. Then turn on to large platter.
  • 17. Prepare glaze by adding powdered sugar to a medium size bowl.
  • 18. Cut lemon in half then squeeze juice of both halves into powdered sugar. Stir together to mix till mixture is desired spreading consistency.
  • 19. Add more lemon juice if needed or do as I did, and add a tablespoon or 2 of orange juice till desired consistency is reached.
  • 20. Drizzle glaze over entire cake, and garnish as desired with sugar crystals or lemon slices.

This cake was a little dry, but the whiskey flavor was nice. I think I would add a little more butter or oil next time.
