  • 1/4 cup bourbon
Combine sugar, water and bourbon in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Place wire rack with cake, on top of a sheet pan and spoon bourbon glaze over top of cake. (For fast clean up line sheet pan with parchment paper.) Reserve left over glaze to drizzle over cake when serving.
