Spicy Lemon Cake

• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 3 cups cake flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch ground ginger, or to taste
• 1/2 cup milk, divided
• 1/2 cup whisky

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a cake pan.
2. Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add eggs and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Mix lemon zest into creamed butter mixture.
3. Sift cake flour into a separate bowl. Add baking powder, salt, and ginger; stir. Beat 1/3 of the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture on low speed until flour mixture is completely incorporated, about 1 minute.
4. Stir lemon juice and 2 tablespoons milk into flour-butter mixture; mix on low speed until completely incorporated. Stir the remaining milk and whisky, alternating with the flour mixture, into the flour-butter mixture until batter is well mixed. Scrape batter into the prepared cake pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
