We have way to big of a stash of different kinds that I have used in my baking...bourbon for bourbon balls...cherry liquor for Black Forrest cake....Ever Clear for my gum paste... Creme De Menthe for something at Christmas time, now I can't remember what for, along with Creme De Caecao (I'm sure my spelling is off on this) for the same thing I used the Menthe stuff for....You would think we are big drinker, but we don't drink any of it. I guess I could have a whopper party at Christmas to use it up.
I actually went and bought the thing for this cake, I find I do that quite a bit but it helps my husbands bar..........he has a variety lol.
Next time I will try it with whisky too.
They are pretty similar
June, how about whiskey? That is what I would use for a substitute.
This recipe is very similar to our "Clark" family famous chocolate cake. Except I make from scratch. I know I don't have bourbon, so what else can I use?
Have fun Linda.
