Perfect cake - moist, flavorful - great sliced and topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

This recipe was wonderful!! I made it for a Saint Patrick's Day party and everyone complimented me and loved it! I did however change the jigger of Irish whiskey to a jigger of Amaretto to the cake batter and I served it with a powdered sugar and milk glaze that I added almond extract to. Very yummy!!! :-)

This was a pretty good recipe. A little dry. I guess w/2 sticks of butter, 6 eggs and 8 oz of cream cheese, I was just expecting it to be better!!

I haven't tried the actual cake yet, but the batter was AMAZING! I tasted and adjusted the amount of whiskey I used. I know I used more than the recipe called for, but I wanted more of the flavor. It is going to be so good!

GONE. GONE. GONE. This was delicious. I made it for a work St. Pat's Day party. Everyone complimented on it. I used nutmeg instead of mace. I used softened butter. I bought a little 2 oz bottle of Jameson Whiskey at Binny's. (Perfect for this receipe) One thing that should be in the receipe: Butter the heck out of the pan. I don't normally bake, so I didn't use enough butter in bottom & sides of the bundt pan and it stuck a bit. This was easy, moist and had great texture and I will bake this again. :)

I am kind of let down by this recipe being as it is 5 stars and the great reviews. I followed the recipe exactly with the only change being that I halved it and put it into a mini bundt cake pan. I was trying out a couple of recipes for St. Patricks Day. Anyway, the problem I had was with the taste and texture of the cake. It was super sweet, spongy like, and closer to a yellowish colored angel food cake in taste and texture. The cake was almost reminiscent of a twinkie without the filling. I was so expecting a dense and not overly sweet cake from the picture, which is what I really wanted. I also lost about 1/4 of the mini bundt cakes, due to tearing on the top. Although, that was my choice to make mini ones. The cake will rise about 1/2" above where the battered is poured so plan that when choosing a bundt cake pan size.

So easy, so smooth...I may add a little more Jamison (I love Jamison's and the hint of it made me want a little more to that richness) and perhaps a wee bit more mace but wouldn't make any big changes to is as it is a wonderful finish to a St. Patty's meal (make sure to make room for it) with a cup of coffee. It is however mouth-watering without changes and of all pound cakes I've ever made, it came out of the pan easily with a beautiful top.

I had to make due with what I had on-hand but I believe it is the method that makes this recipe superior to other pound cakes I have made. Can't wait to try it as written.

LOVED it! To be fair, I did not have Irish Whiskey - so I used Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey. Delish! After reading other reviews, I did cut my baking time by 5 minutes and I used nutmeg in place of mace. Moist, not too sweet with just the right taste of whiskey. Served it with Apple Berry Salsa. Yum!
