I finally made this last night and it was delicious! Made some cauliflower "rice" and asparagus for sides. What an easy dish for a weeknight meal, too. I used half 'n half instead of cream and did use bourbon that Ron picked up for me. Guess I will just have to make my mom's bourbon pound cake one of these days...

I didn't use cream either - I always have canned milk in small containers in the freezer and that's what I use for cream. Glad you liked it. Good excuse for your mom's cake.

HA! Look what I found - so I can also use up some of my Irish Whiskey I bought for St. Patty's day, at least 1/3 cup

Bourbon Pound Cake
Maryann's Mom's recipe
1 pound butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
8 egg yolks
3 cups sifted all purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons almond extract
1/3 cup bourbon
8 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Cream butter & 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Add flour alternately with flavoring and bourbon in thirds, beating until smooth. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry, gradually adding remaining 1 cup sugar.
Gently fold egg yolk mixture into egg white mixture. Fold in nuts or sprinkle nuts in bottom of a well-buttered tube pan. Carefully turn batter into pan. Bake at 350 degrees 1 1/2 hours or until done. Cool in pan.
Servings: 16
Notes: I have made this cake without beating the egg whites separately. Just add whole eggs one at a time and beat well. It will produce a more dense and heavier cake, but turns out just as well. All alcohol evaporates during baking process. Only the flavor remains. This is also good made with rum, but is slightly sweeter. Enjoy!

I'd better stop - I thought I would find 2 or 4 recipes I liked with Bourbon, but turns out I have quite a few. Most are grilling sauces, so guess I'll print out a list - summer SHOULD come sometime!!!

Oh, I hope you do try Mom's bourbon cake sometime. It's great for a crowd because you can only eat a small piece of it since it's so rich and it makes a pretty good size cake, too!
Thanks for posting the glaze recipe. Copied and saved!
