CHOCOLATE WHISKEY CAKE



Chocolate Whiskey Cake image

This recipe came to The Times from Marti Buckley Kilpatrick, who adapted it from Dol Miles, the pastry chef at Frank Stitt's Bottega restaurant in Birmingham, Ala. Ms. Kilpatrick describes the cake as an ugly frog of a confection, but promises that anyone willing to bet a kiss on its excellence would be amply rewarded. The interplay of coffee, black pepper and cloves is subtle but powerful, and results in a deeply flavored, moist confection that comes together quickly. It's just delicious.

WHISKEY CAKE RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Whiskey Cake Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by june

Number Of Ingredients 33

DATE CAKE:
1 8-ounce package dried pitted dates, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup boiling water
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 jumbo eggs, at room temperature
1 3/4 cup self-rising flour
3 tablespoons sugar in the raw (turbinado sugar)
BOURBON SAUCE:
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 vanilla bean, split
4 jumbo eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons good bourbon
TOFFEE SAUCE:
1 stick unsalted butter
1 pound brown sugar
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons good bourbon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
SPICED PECANS:
1 pound pecan halves
2 teaspoons water
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
WHIPPED CREAM:
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • CAKE: Heat oven to 350°F. Place dates, baking soda and boiling water in a medium sized bowl. Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes until the dates are softened. Place the date mixture in a food processor for 2 minutes to form a paste. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add the sugar and continue to cream for 3 minutes longer. Scrape down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing in between to fully incorporate each egg. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer running on low, add the flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, and mix just until the flour is no longer visible. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer. Add the date paste and gently fold in using a rubber spatula. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar into the baking pan and move the pan around until the sugar coats the bottom and all sides. Pour in the cake batter and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool at room temperature for 20 minutes. Flip the cake out onto a parchment paper lined tray. Leave at room temperature to cool completely. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and store at room temperature until ready to use. NOTE: To make self-rising flour, mix together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of baking powder in a medium-sized bowl. Use immediately or store in an airtight container. BOURBON SAUCE: Bring heavy cream, 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla bean to simmer in a small to medium-sized sauce pot. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and other 1/4 cup sugar together until frothy. While stirring, slowly add about 1/2 of the heavy cream mixture to the eggs. Stir together gently. Pour the egg mixture into the pot of remaining heavy cream. Continue to cook over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spatula or spoon. Stir in the vanilla extract and bourbon and remove from heat. Pour the mixture through a strainer into a container. Place the container of bourbon sauce in an ice bath until cool. Either use the sauce immediately, or store in the fridge until ready to use. If stored in the fridge, before use, reheat in the microwave at 10 second intervals on 50% power until thinned and slightly lukewarm. TOFFEE SAUCE: Place butter in a heavy bottom sauce pot over medium heat. Once melted, add brown sugar and continue to cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add heavy cream and allow to cook for another 6-7 minutes, still stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat and stir in bourbon and vanilla. Use sauce immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before using. SPICED PECANS: Heat oven to 350°F. Mix water, syrup, salt and both peppers together in a small bowl. Place pecans in a medium-sized bowl. Pour maple syrup mixture over pecans and mix until all are evenly coated. Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet covered with foil. Bake for 12-15 minutes. As soon as the pecans come out of the oven, scrape the pecans off the pan ad break up pecan clumps to prevent from sticking together. Let cool completely. Store in an airtight plastic container at room temperature. WHIPPED CREAM: Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla to the bowl. Beginning at low speed and slowly increasing the speed to high, whip the mixture together until slightly stiff peaks form. ASSEMBLE THE CAKE: Cut the Date Cake into 12 equal pieces. Poke several holes in the top of each piece using a wooden skewer or chopstick. Arrange the cake pieces on a baking sheet covered with nonstick foil. Heat the oven to 500°F. Pour 1/4 cup of Toffee Sauce over each piece of Date Cake. Place toffee soaked cake pieces in the oven for 4-5 minutes, until the Toffee Sauce is bubbling and the cake is warmed throughout. Spoon 1/4 cup of Bourbon Sauce onto 12 individual plates or bowls. Place each piece of warmed cake in the middle of each pool of Bourbon Sauce Finish each piece with a large dollop of Whipped Cream and a sprinkling of Spiced Pecans.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons butter, plus more for buttering pan
Fine dry bread crumbs for dusting pan
1 3/4 cups sugar
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup bourbon whiskey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a bundt pan and dust with bread crumbs. In a mixer fitted with a paddle, beat butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar and lemon zest until fluffy and fragrant. Beat in vanilla and 2 eggs. Add remaining eggs. Beat again.

Categories     Cake     Coffee     Chocolate     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Whiskey     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process) plus 3 tablespoons for dusting pan
1 1/2 cups brewed coffee
1/2 cup American whiskey
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream
Garnish: confectioners sugar for dusting
Special Equipment
a 10-inch bundt pan (3 1/4 inches deep; 3-qt capacity)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F. Butter bundt pan well, then dust with 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, knocking out excess.
  • Heat coffee, whiskey, butter, and remaining cup cocoa powder in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, whisking, until butter is melted. Remove from heat, then add sugar and whisk until dissolved, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and cool 5 minutes.
  • While chocolate mixture cools, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together eggs and vanilla in a small bowl, then whisk into cooled chocolate mixture until combined well. Add flour mixture and whisk until just combined (batter will be thin and bubbly). Pour batter into bundt pan and bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Cool cake completely in pan on a rack, about 2 hours. Loosen cake from pan using tip of a dinner knife, then invert rack over pan and turn cake out onto rack.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality whiskey. The better the whiskey, the better the cake will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
