Lightly grease and flour a bundt pan.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine one package of yellow cake mix and one package of instant vanilla pudding.

Add 4 eggs at room temperature and whisk them together.

Pour in 1 cup of whole milk and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, then add 1 ounce of Irish whiskey and whisk everything together.

Add 1 cup of chopped walnuts, sprinkling half into the prepared bundt pan and stirring the other half into the cake batter.

Transfer the cake batter into the bundt pan and gently smooth the top.

Bake the cake for 55 minutes.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, then add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of Irish whiskey, stirring to dissolve.

After 55 minutes, check the cake with a cake tester or skewer to see if it is done.

Poke holes in the top of the cake using a skewer or fork.

Drizzle half of the hot butter-sugar-whiskey mixture onto the cake and let it soak in for 5 minutes.

Invert the cake onto a plate and poke more holes in the top.

Drizzle the remaining glaze over the entire cake, spooning it if necessary.

Let the cake cool completely to soak up the glaze.

Transfer the cooled cake onto a presentation dish and dust the top with icing sugar.

Serve with whipped cream, which is made by whipping 1 cup of cream with a little sugar and a drop of whiskey.
