TWD: Chocolate Whisky Cake

TWD: Chocolate Whisky cake

Boy.. the process of making this cake brought back gushes of memories. Not anything that I should be proud of at all, but still, I had bravely walked thru the tortorous phase of my life. A whiff of whisky from the opened bottle, the many glasses of whisky sours downed in a moment of sorrow and anguish. The thought of all the foolish acts I had put myself thru in those months of emotional struggle all seem just a little childish now... oh well.

This week's recipe as chosen by Lyb of And I do the dishes is the Chocolate Armagnac Cake, a.k.a, the cake that got Dorie fired? but why?! i suppose anything with that much alcohol in it would taste divine! *twiddles fingers*

In my own twist on the recipe, I swopped the Armagnac for Whisky instead as obviously the former was much harder to lay my hands on. And also, I changed the prunes for raisins instead. Both tweeks turned out pretty fine in the resultant product. Almost liked a light chiffon cake with the benefits of the whisky in it. *hic*

After stashing that one little slice as seen in the photo above, it was then a quick pack up for mum's office where the rest of the colleagues get to enjoy the rest of the alcoholic cake. haha.

To get to the point, I loved it, and i reckoned everyone else did. *double hic*
