Secret ingredient: BOURBON FN related

[fiyah]

I made a bourbon chocolate cake last week and people actually got tipsy from eating it. I guess a cup per cake is "too" much according to some people...

It was great with the homemade whipped cream to temper it, though.

Whoa, there's a name from the past..

Make bourbon chocolate cake, why don't you? And consume it while drinking bourbon, of course. And a chunk of raw onion is a delicious snack, by the way. Grumpy likes to bite down on raw garlic cloves. Keeps the vampires away, don't you know.

Ahem! Some of us are still waiting for that cake recipe!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter, softened, more for greasing pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, more for dusting pan
5 ounces unsweetened dark chocolate
1/4 cup instant espresso (can use instant coffee)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup bourbon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda

1 Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a large bundt pan (10 cup capacity), or two 8- or 9-inch loaf pans. Melt chocolate in a microwave.Let cool.
2 Put instant espresso and cocoa powder in a 2-cup (or larger) glass measuring cup. Add enough boiling water to come up to the 1 cup measuring line. Mix until powders dissolve. Stir in whiskey and salt; let cool.
3 Beat softened butter until fluffy. Add sugar and beat until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract, baking soda and melted chocolate.
4 With the mixer on the lowest speed, beat in a third of the whiskey espresso cocoa mixture. When liquid is absorbed, beat in 1 cup flour. Repeat additions, ending with whiskey mixture. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes for Bundt pan.
5 Transfer cake to a rack. Unmold after 15 minutes and sprinkle warm cake with more whiskey. Let cool.

I serve this with fresh whipped cream.
