Classic Irish Pound Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups white sugar
• 6 large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger Irish whiskey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.13 teaspoon ground mace

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a Bundt pan by greasing and flouring it.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar until well combined and the mixture appears lighter in color.
3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Beat in all-purpose flour with the remaining egg. Gently stir in self-rising flour until just combined, then fold in whiskey, vanilla, and mace. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 50 minutes.
