Well, I am part Irish! Here’s mud in ‘yer eye! Print Maybe what I need is a piece of Chocolate Irish Whiskey Cake. Chocolate cake should make you happy… not cranky. I want your time in the kitchen to be HAPPY. One of the reasons I test every single recipe - no matter what, is because it should be consistent every single time. That way you can finish the top and have that ‘brownie’ effect. Just cream and chocolate and silky smooth, it won’t let you down. Rather than the smooth butter and chocolate drizzle I’d originally envisioned, switched things up to finish with a sassy ganache. In consultation with the Chef-in-my-life we adjusted the ingredients to make life easier.

I feel compelled, at this juncture to assure you I was not in fact ‘sampling’ the whiskey (not that there’s anything wrong with that, just ask Julia Child.) Had I been sampling, I assure you, the cake would have been tossed, rather dramatically out the window, aiming for the parking lot. Almost as much as I hate wasting chocolate. That’s why we test the recipe! This was a third time lucky recipe. Sometimes when you’re testing recipes… you fail. Chocolate Whiskey “Brownies” For Grown-Ups A dense, rich, dark chocolate cake that is moist and not too sweet, with that bite of good, clean whiskey and a hint of walnut. To this, add warm water and mix well.This Chocolate Irish Whiskey Cake could very well entice a leprechaun into exchanging his pot of gold for a slice of chocolate sin. To make the glaze for the cake, add lemon juice, 1-2 tbsp whiskey and brown sugar in a bowl. Bake for 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, transfer the mixture into the greased cake pan. Next, whip the egg whites into the cake mixture and beat well until they become stiff.

Add this to the flour mixture and beat very well. To this mixture add the egg yolks and whisk well. In a separate bowl, add butter with sugar and combine until the mixture becomes light. Mix these ingredients well and set aside. Now in a bowl, sieve baking powder, flour, salt and cloves.
