Instructions

4.Pour the cake batter over the nuts in the pan.
5.Bake the cake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6.While the cake is baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the remaining 1/4 cup water and 1 cup of white sugar. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling and stirring for 5 minutes.
7.Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/2 cup whiskey.
