This weeks Sweet Melissa is called SpeakEasy
and was chosen by Jeannette of the Whimsical Cupcake.
I have not baked with the Sweet Melissa group for two months
but really wanted to get in on this one.
I loved this cake and will make it again.
I have to admit that I have never made anything before with liquor and was nervous about how it would taste but really couldn't tell much difference, however without it , it may not have been as good.
It called for 2/3 cup of Brandy.( I only used 1/3 cup)
I had to go to my first liquor store and thought my daughter would die as she
waited for me to go in.
Imagine seeing your Pastors wife coming out of the Payless Liquor store
with a little brown bag! Ha!

This cake was delicious and very adult.
It had 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate, 1/c up of heavy cream and 4 eggs, it was not for the faint of heart or for those counting calories.
This would be an elegant cake for a special romantic dinner or for guest!
A great Valentines Idea
Last week was our youth pastors Birthday, we wrapped up a good size piece
and put a candle in it, she loved it!
Happy Birthday Sherri !
This was delicious and I will make it again!

Looks great! I agree this looks like a great choice for Valentine's Day.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I bet the recipient of that generous slice of cake was very appreciative!
Beautiful cake! I'm not generally a big fan of cakes with this much alcohol in them, but I thought it worked in this recipe - delish :) Glad it was a hit for you.
Beautiful cake and nice birthday cake :).
Too funny about the brown paper sack and the liquor store.
Your cake looks great! I was nervous about the brandy too so I subbed it for another liquor, triple sec, for a hint of orange. I love how you wrapped a birthday slice. Cute!
That cake looks so yummy and how sweet are you for sharing it! Angie xo
I just looove the picture of the individual slice! It looks so perfectly moist and smooth! Thank you for baking along with me!
