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*

Just like Pinkstripes, my youth's adventures had to do with Tequila... and frankly, again like her... I'm glad I haven't had to bake with it yet! Oh! boy... how I sympathise with you Sihan... must have been a bit overwhelming at first!
Although... the cake ended being pretty darn wonderful... memory or not. LOL
We all have a bottle of something that's difficult to get close to after too much of it! I'm glad you got the chance to bake the cake and I'm sure everyone enjoyed it. It really was delicious!
