Bourbon Infused Easter Pound Cake
Ingredients
  • 3 cups sugar, divided
  • 1 pound butter, room temperature
  • 8 eggs, separated
  • 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup bourbon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 cups white frosting
  • sweetened flaked coconut for decorating
  • jelly beans or other small candies, or as desired
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Select a suitable cake mold in the shape of a lamb and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
2
Combine 2 cups sugar and softened butter in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until the mixture has lightened significantly. The color change should be noticeable. Gradually add egg yolks, one at a time, ensuring each addition is well incorporated before proceeding to the next.
3
Mix in flour, alternating with bourbon, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated into the mixture.
4
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until they become frothy. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup sugar and continue whipping until a medium peak forms. To check for peak formation, lift the beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the formed peak should curl over slightly.
5
Using a large whisk or rubber spatula, gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it. Fold in the remaining egg whites, followed by blending in chopped pecans. Pour approximately 1 cup of batter into the prepared cake mold.
6
Insert a toothpick into each ear and nose of the cake to help it hold its shape during baking. Pour the remaining batter into the mold.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8
Place the cooled cake on a serving plate. Decorate with frosting, coconut, and candies as desired.
