    I’ve finished off the amazing cake! Everything in this cake is infused with the sweet flavor of whisky – the Chocolate Cake, the Dulche de Leche, and the Ganache all have a hint of whiskey in them.

    It’s a triple treat and it was so good delicious! To say it’s a manly dessert, may be kinda sexist, but this Triple Whiskey Cake is definitely an adult dessert. This really is a great chocolate cake that just got better each day. The whiskey got a bit stronger each day and the chocolate got smoother each day. I loved it everyday!

      1. Will it appear as if it is not cooke?
        .I made it the way the recipe stated and baked it at the exact temp and even for 10 minutes more

        1. Not sure what you might be doing. Whenever you cook a cake, you should not open the oven door until the last 5 minutes of baking. There should be no need to keep poking your nose into the oven, it just lets out all the heat. Also, check your oven temperature with an in oven thermometer. There are hot areas and cooler areas in all ovens (more so if it’s older). It’s done cooking when you insert a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean and you should see the sides start pulling away from the edges.

      2. Hi Karyn! I left another question on the cake page. But as for the the finished product, do you recommend making this a day before serving? Do you refrigerate overnight any of the steps? I saw a comment you made about wrapping the cakes in plastic wrap and freezing it overnight to hold the shape better. are there any more tips you recommend while building this cake, in regards to when and how long to refrigerate before assembling?

        Thanks so much!!

        1. I always wrap and freeze my cake layers before frosting them. This helps me to handle my cakes without fear of them breaking. I can push down to make the cake level and to make sure there is no air trapped between layers. The cake will thaw and be good to serve within an hour. As far as additional tips go, get your butter out an hour ahead of time to soften. Press out any air bubbles in the frosting with a wooden spoon or on low with a paddle attachment. I hope it was delicious!
