Double the recipe for a correct 3- layer 7″ cake
Bourbon is included on this recipe for a tremendous depth of taste that’s unmatched!
Nonetheless you may omit that and simply substitute it with one other liquor like Rum or Frangelico and even Grand Marnier can be superior!
Or simply add extra espresso instead of the alcohol in case you are alcohol free.

Then the ganache glaze will cowl up the catastrophe, or make a severely damaged cake into cake balls like I did right here!
