Directions:
- Place lemon zest and the raisins in a small bowl and cover with 1/4 cup of whiskey.
- Cover with plastic wrap and leave to soak overnight.
- When ready to prepare the cake, lightly butter a 7-inch square cake pan.
- Line the base with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer (or mix by hand).
- Beat the butter until creamy.
- Add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Add the egg yolks and beat them into the mixture one at a time.
- Remove the lemon zest from the raisin and whiskey mixture.
- Chop some of the zest very finely, about 1 Tbsp, and add to the egg and sugar mixture along with the raisins and whiskey.
- Gently stir into the mixture.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff.
- Fold them into the egg and sugar mixture alternately with the flour.
- Don't overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
- Sprinkle with the sugar and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until it springs back gently when touched and a tester emerges clean.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for about 10 minutes.
- Turn out onto a cake rack set over a plate so that the cake is upside down.
- Use a skewer to make about 6 or 8 little holes in the cake's base (don't go all the way through) and pour the remaining bit of whiskey into the holes.
- Let sit for another 15 minutes, then invert and let cool completely before cutting into thick fingers and serving.
