I had a great time trying this recipe and I will definitely be trying it again! I think I will cut it in half though...unless I am planning on a bigger party or giving them out. Delicious!

You have to really really like the taste of whiskey to tolerate these cakes. I was not expecting it to taste so strongly. If I made them again I'd totally skip the whiskey in the sauce. I prefer just a hint but these were almost pure whiskey taste. Not for my tastes but I am giving them a 5 star because they live up to their name!
