Instructions

  1. 1 Cut crosswise slashes vertically and horizontally on ham, cutting through fat but not into the meat. Implant whole cloves where slashes intersect as deep as you can.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a large, heavy baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. 3 Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add whiskey. Cook until reduced by 1/3 to boil out some of the alcohol taste, 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter; stir until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and honey until mixture has a sauce-like consistency, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  4. 4 Baste ham with glaze and place onto the prepared pan. Cover entire pan with more foil.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes with glaze and fat drippings from the pan and recovering with foil afterwards. Remove foil and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the ham reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 30 minutes more, basting twice during this period.
  6. 6 Remove ham from the oven and tent foil to let juices settle back into meat, about 10 minutes. Reserve pan drippings. Trim off fat and skin and slice; set on a serving tray. Serve with pan juices.

130 min

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
  2. 2 Place the cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Pour the water into a 2-cup measure, and add enough Irish whiskey to total 1 1/3 cup of liquid (about 10 1/2 tablespoons). Reserve remaining whiskey. Beat the whiskey and water mixture, vegetable oil, and eggs with an electric mixer on low speed just until cake mix is moistened; increase speed to medium, and beat until the batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
  4. 4 While the cake is baking, pour remaining Irish whiskey (about 1 1/2 tablespoon) into a saucepan, and stir in 1/4 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved; boil until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 When cakes are done baking but still hot, poke holes all over the cakes (the end of a chopstick works well for this) and drizzle the whiskey syrup into the holes. Return the cakes to the oven, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. 6 Remove cakes from oven, allow to cool in pans for 15 minutes, then remove from pans to finish cooling on wire racks.
  7. 7 To make caramel sauce, mix the Irish stout beer with 1/2 cup of sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Simmer the mixture until thickened, about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, and allow to cool.
  8. 8 To make frosting, beat 1 cup of softened butter in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, then gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time. Beat in salt, then add the Irish cream liqueur, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  9. 9 To assemble the cake, place a layer onto a cake serving dish; pour the Irish stout caramel over the first layer, allowing the caramel to drip down the sides of the layer. Place the 2nd cake layer on top, and top with the buttercream, swirling the frosting into decorative waves. Do not frost sides of cake.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat butter and oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat until butter has melted. Add onion and sauté until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Push onion to the sides of the pan.
  2. 2 Rub steaks with cut sides of garlic, then place into the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until steaks are browned but still light pink inside, 2 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness.
  3. 3 Remove from the heat. Slowly pour Irish whiskey into the hot skillet; be careful, whiskey fumes are flammable. Mix browned onions into the whiskey and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  4. 4 Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper, then garnish with parsley. Turn steaks over to coat both sides with the pan sauce.
  5. 5 Serve steaks and drizzle pan sauce over top.

  2. 2 Mix flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  3. 3 Place unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  4. 4 Beat eggs in a bowl until thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Remove cold bowl from the freezer and pour in chilled whipping cream; beat until stiff. Fold in eggs, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, folding gently after each addition, until blended. Pour into the prepared cake pans.

Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a small pastry bag fitted with a medium-sized writing tip.
