Dicey Riley's Apple Cake
Great tasting cake. Whiskey is optional but Dicey Riley would have thought it important. Dicey Riley was a famed Dublin street character, immortalized in a popular ballad. "Poor Old Dicey Riley, she has taken to the sup Poor Old Dicey Riley, she will never give it up." Part of the St. Patrick's Day Menu
