Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually beat in the granulated sugar until the mixture is well blended and noticeably lighter in color. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Beat in the all-purpose flour with the last egg. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Gently stir in the self-rising flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the ground mace, vanilla extract, and Irish whiskey until evenly distributed. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and spread evenly. (1 minute)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (60 minutes)

09

Step

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an enhanced flavor, consider using a high-quality Irish butter.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal blending.
To prevent sticking, use baking spray with flour instead of greasing and flouring the pan.
If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
