Great winter-time cake. Warms you through and through! Feel free to use a little less water and make up for it with some extra whiskey.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and lacked flavor. I won't be making it again.

I've made this cake several times and it's always a hit. It's the perfect balance of moist and dense, and the whiskey flavor is just right.

This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and it was way too dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try making it again with a little less flour.

This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a Bundt pan and it came out perfectly golden brown. The glaze gave it a nice shine and extra flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of whiskey, but this cake was surprisingly delicious. The whiskey flavor was subtle and complemented the other flavors in the cake perfectly.

This Irish whiskey cake was a hit at my last dinner party! It had a moist, dense crumb and a lovely whiskey flavor that wasn't overpowering. I'll definitely be making it again.
