If I use alcohol (specifically whiskey) to replace the water in a cake, do I use the same amount?
I would think that you could do 1/2 cup whiskey and 1/3 cup water I dont know if you want it to be all whiskey ... whiskey is strong and it may over power the cake.. I would do a test run and see. I think if you use a whole cup of whiskey that is going to be a lot.

I would have to agree with LadyCake here.
Alcohol acts as a flavoring as well as adding some additional moisture. So I would only substitute maybe half of the required amount of water.
However, here is where it gets a bit tricky, alcohol gets evaporated much more quickly than water so you will be losing some moisture in your cake. What I like to do (depending on the recipe) is supplement the recipe with a few extra tablespoons of water.
