I can honestly say that the combination of chocolate and bourbon is awesome. Hubby would have me making this all year long.

What a beautiful, moist looking cake. My husband looked interested when I mention it had bourbon in it, definitely investigating further.

Thanks Nicky, that sounds wonderful 🙂

Oh with bourbon, how decadent! I didn’t realize for a long time that we could bake with olive oil too. Our traditional central European cuisine, and especially our teacher, weren’t that liberal back then in college. So I missed trying this early on. Your cake looks like a great treat!
Molly Kumar February 19, 2018 (4:56 pm)
Thanks Helene.

What an adorable little bake! I’ve never cooked with whiskey like that before; it must impart such a lovely flavour to the dessert.
Molly Kumar February 17, 2018 (11:04 pm)
Thanks. The bourbon does add such a delicious aroma.
