So it's plum duff, is it now? 

great now everyone is going to get drunk

Well, the alcohol should burn off when you bake that. At least that's what happens when my folks put wine on meat before cooking it.

Pffft!!! XD

The girls of Team RWBY have beautiful mothers! (and my headcannon is that Ruby is cloned from hers) (and Blake has best mom! But Yang has worst)

To bad Qrow went silber

seriously im surprised her and qrow never interacted 

I mean, if we're being real, the alcohol cooks off. In the meantime, it prevents water from binding to the gluten molecules in the flour. I've only ever made pie-dough using this method, so I don't know what it would do for a cake. Unlike pie-dough, you do want gluten in a cake so it has some structure and rises properly. Maybe less gluten helps make it less bread-y? idk, it just seems like it would turn out really dense. Maybe she's already added water (and/or milk and eggs) to the flour, making the effects of the alcohol moot.
Alcohol aside, whiskey would certainly impart a flavor. 

It's rum cake Willow! Not Whisky cake!

Gotta make sure the party will take off
