Chocolate Irish Tipsy Cake

Not for the kiddies! this reminds me very much of the bacardi rum cake that i make during the holidays.

In a large bowl , combine cake mix , pudding mix , 1 / 2 cup irish whiskey , and oil.

Add eggs and beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 4 minutes , scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.

Spoon into greased and floured 10-inch bundt or tube pan.

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 45 minutes , or until a cake tester comes out clean.

When cake is almost done , prepare syrup.

Combine sugar , butter , water , and lemon juice in a small heavy saucepan.

Bring to a boil slowly , stirring until sugar is dissolved.

Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1 / 4 cup irish whiskey.

Turn cake out onto two large sheets of aluminum foil placed together to form the shape of a cross.

Let cake cool for 10 minutes , top side up for tube cake and upside down for bundt cake.

Using a skewer , make holes all over top and sides of hot cake.

Drizzle syrup very slowly over cake , being careful that too much does not run into any cracks on top of cake.

Bring foil up around ca.
