Chocolate Irish Whiskey Bundt Cake

March 5, 2020 Amanda Plott

St. Patrick’s Day is coming and being as it’s also my dad’s birthday, I thought there would be no better time than now to make a delicious Irish take on a chocolate cake. What makes it Irish? Irish whiskey, of course! That’s right, this homemade from scratch chocolate cake has Irish whiskey baked RIGHT IN to the cake itself.

It ends up being a rich almost dark chocolate tasting cake that has the texture of a pound cake. The best part is that it’s pretty easy to make and it’s even lightened up! So how does one make a chocolate cake better-for-you anyway? Well…

Irish Whiskey Blondies

Now that Valentine’s Day is over, I’m already on the thought path of St. Patrick’s Day! I love St. Patrick’s day for a couple of reasons. One being that I’ve got some Irish blood in me. Another being that it’s my dad’s birthday. And of course… who doesn’t love an excuse to drink and pinch people? Don’t worry, there’s no green beer here.

Instead, I opted to start off with these lightened up Irish Whiskey Blondies. I based these blondies over some that I made a good while back now. And yes, there is actually whiskey baked right into these blondies. Enough to give the flavor and just a little kick…

Skinny Irish Car Bomb Brownies

Irish Car Bombs are a super tasty alcoholic drink that always makes it's appearance around St. Patrick's Day.

Don't know what an Irish Car Bomb is? Well, it's a fun little drink where you drop a shot of whiskey and irish cream into a Guinness beer and then quickly chug it down. You really have to chug it down before the cream curdles in the beer. Bleck! And you don't want that.

I always like to play around with combining drink recipes and dessert recipes. After all, what's more fun than cooking with alcohol? Not. Much...
