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
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground mace

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  2. Beat butter and cream cheese together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in sugar until well blended. Mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
  3. Beat in 5 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition before adding the next; beat in all-purpose flour with remaining 1 egg. Stir in self-rising flour until just combined; stir in whisky, vanilla, and mace. Transfer to the prepared pan.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing from the pan to cool completely on a wire rack, about 50 minutes.
