Whiskey Cake Recipe
Everyone’s going to love this whiskey cake recipe! I mean what’s not to love about bourbon and chocolate! This recipe and the final result is so worth the time you’ve going to put into it.
Bourbon Cake
A great bourbon cake starts with a great bourbon. Or whiskey! Well, according to World Whiskey Day: “For a whiskey to call itself bourbon, its mash (the mixture of grains from which the product is distilled) must contain at least 51 per cent corn. The mash must be distilled at 160 proof or less, the distillate must be stored in charred new oak barrels at 125 proof or less, and it must not contain any additives.”
Tipsy Cake
In essence, this is going to be nicknamed your ‘tipsy cake’! Now if you’re an adult, really don’t go thinking you’re gonna be inebriated by eating a slice of this cake. But, you might just want to keep it off limits to those under age!
Chocolate Bourbon Cake
This chocolate bourbon cake has some serious chocolate in it. That’ what makes it so rich and decadent. Then you’re going to ramp up the chocolate flavors by adding some dried instant espresso coffee. Imagine, that! You’re getting more chocolate flavor with this simple additon.
Whiskey Cake Recipe from Scratch
Of course you could use a chocolate cake mix for this recipe, but sometimes special cakes like this one have to be done from scratch. And, while this whiskey cake recipe from scratch might look daunting with the cake and drizzle, it’s really not. I promise!
Whiskey Chocolate Cake
If you don’t want to make this a whiskey chocolate cake, then you can substitute apple juice for the liquid. But, just know that the cooking process really does temper the alcohol in the whiskey. But, certainly, follow your own heart and head if you’re making this recipe and whether you want to use the alcohol.
Pomegranate Recipes Baking
Seasonal fruits and vegetables are always the best when cooking and when creating new recipes. During pomegranate season, I’m creating a windstorm of recipes that use this delectable fruit. A lot of the time pomegranate seeds are used in salads and not so often in baking, but don’t think they can’t be fabulous making a kind of pomegranate dessert.
Pomegranate Desserts
Pomegranate desserts can be as simple as sprinkling pomegranate seeds on ice cream or more complicated like cakes, pies, donuts, cookies and more. I’m loving these pomegranate dessert ideas from Buzz Feed!
Dessert with Pomegranate
Dessert with pomegranate doesn’t have to be complicated. And, don’t forget pomegranate, bourbon and whiskey are fabulous with other savory dishes like these I’ve created.

Put the chocolates in a glass bowl. Microwave the chocolate about 30 seconds on high.
Place bowl on a pot of simmering hot water (creating a double boiler) & whisk in the cream until smooth.

When the cake is cool, drizzle with the chocolate. Sprinkle on the remaining pomegranate seeds and sprinkle with finishing salt.
