Tennessee Whiskey Pecan Cake

This is one of my favorite old time cake recipes that I just added a bit of spirit to.  Actually a quarter cup of spirit in the way of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey®.  This is my all time favorite sipping whiskey and I think it adds just the right taste to this cake.  The whiskey along with the pecans is a winning recipe in my book.  Let me know what y’all think.  You of course don’t need to add the whiskey, but as I always say, “Why Wouldn’t You”.
