KENTUCKY CHRISTMAS CAKE
A good-keeping cake, similar to a pound cake. Don't worry about the alcohol in the whiskey...it evaporates from the cake during the baking process, leaving only a delicious flavor accent. If desired, this cake may be decorated before baking with candied fruit and pecan halves. Wedges of leftover cake can be heated in the top of a double boiler and served with a hard sauce as for plum pudding.
