Description

A Scottish favourite packed with sultanas, raisins and dates and infused with Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Almost half the recipe is fruit: plump sultanas and raisins, sticky dates and a little orange and lemon peel, all infused with Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Dark brown sugar, treacle and warming spices give the cake its deep colour and moist, rich crumb.

The cake is topped with cherries and nibbed almonds, then finished with a port syrup glaze for a glossy, jewelled top. The result is a truly unique and distinctive Scottish flavour, with the warmth of the whisky coming through in every slice. Presented in a round tin, it's a thoughtful gift for someone special, or a treat to share over a cup of tea or coffee.

Cut into thin slices with a sharp knife and serve at room temperature. It's lovely in the afternoon with a pot of Famous Edinburgh tea, or after dinner with coffee.

For a special occasion, serve a slice alongside a wee dram of single malt.

Our story

Scotland's national drink, baked into a cake

Few things are more Scottish than a good single malt. Scotch whisky has been distilled here for centuries, and it finds its way into the kitchen as well as the glass, from cranachan at Burns Night to a splash in the Christmas cake.

The whisky
Our Whisky Cake brings the two together. The whisky is added to the fruit, so its warmth and depth run right through the crumb, balanced by dark treacle, warming spice and the sweetness of dates. A glossy top of cherries and almonds makes it as handsome on the table as it is to eat.
For special occasions
It's a natural choice for Burns Night, Christmas and Hogmanay, and a memorable gift for anyone who loves whisky. Brodies has been part of Scotland's food and drink heritage since 1867.
