Every now and then I dabble with varying types of alcoholic beverages in my baking. Recently with rum (though technically it was really rum essence not actually rum..shhh), Frangelico, Red wine, Baileys, and the list continues…

So many spirits have such amazing distinctive flavors that are generally forgotten until we buy a random happy hour half price cocktail!

I had recently had a spirit that was an old favorite when I was younger, this being the old Jim Beam Bourbon. Though its flavor is by no means sweet, it does hold an interesting smokiness that I was captivated to put up against sweet tasting dark chocolate.

Therefore, hello my Bourbon Chocolate Cake with Peanut Bourbon Icing (peanut butter added to the icing for an even more unusual but wonderful twist that really works)!
