Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. bourbon
  • 1 lemon juice and zest
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda

Maple Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. milk
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until fluffy. Alternatively, use a large mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest. Scrape down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour, alternating with the sour cream. Then add the bourbon.
  • Coat a bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack before inverting onto a cake plate.

Make the Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and maple syrup until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cake.
