| 1. Place lemon zest and the raisins in a small bowl and cover with 1/4 cup of whiskey. | 2. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to soak overnight. | 3. When ready to prepare the cake, lightly butter a 7-inch square cake pan. | 4. Line the base with parchment paper. | 5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. | 6. Place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer (or mix by hand). | 7. Beat the butter until creamy. | 8. Add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy. | 9. Add the egg yolks and beat them into the mixture one at a time. | 10. Remove the lemon zest from the raisin and whiskey mixture. | 11. Chop some of the zest very finely, about 1 Tbsp, and add to the egg and sugar mixture along with the raisins and whiskey. | 12. Gently stir into the mixture. | 13. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. | 14. Fold them into the egg and sugar mixture alternately with the flour. | 15. Don't overmix. | 16. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface. | 17. 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. | 18. Remove from the oven and let sit for about 10 minutes. | 19. Turn out onto a cake rack set over a plate so that the cake is upside down. | 20. 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. | 21. Let sit for another 15 minutes, then invert and let cool completely before cutting into thick fingers and serving. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
