Instructions: Butter and flour a loaf pan, 9x5. Cream butter and add sugar slowly. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the bourbon.

Sift the flour, coffee powder, spices baking powder, and salt together. Add these about 1/3 at a time, alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake in a 325 degree oven for about 75 minutes or until the cake is springy to the touch and begins to shrink from the sides of the pan. Cool for 10 min on a wire rack, then turn out to cool completely.

note: 1/2 cup finely ground nuts may be added to this cake. In that case, put them to soak in the bourbon at the start, and add the two together.
