Bourbon layer cake with bourbon ganache and milk chocolate buttercream
Cakes
I kind of shot myself in the foot when I made that incredible Rainbow Cake last year. As my little sister's birthday approached, I kept thinking, "how on EARTH am I going to top the rainbow cake?" I mean, seriously. The only things that top rainbows are sparkles and unicorns. Or booze. And since a unicorn cake is entirely beyond my skill set, I went with the later. And set out to make the booziest, bourbonyest cake I could. Bourbon buttermilk cake. Bourbon chocolate ganache. Milk chocolate buttercream. And I did not skimp on the bourbon, either. There's a half a cup in the cake alone. You can literally smell the aroma the second you cut into it. I'm not sure if it was the bourbon or the buttermilk or the butter, but this cake was so incredibly moist and buttery that the frosting and ganache had trouble sticking to it. Or maybe it was an issue with the frosting itself. I'll say that's why there's not a slice photo here for you to see, but in reality it's because we devoured that thing
