How will you be celebrating? If your day is going to include lots of beer and liquor, the better question for you is, what will you be eating? I have come to associate March 17th with corned beef, Irish soda bread, and pints of Guinness. This year, I will be enjoying this festive chocolate glazed Jameson infused bundt cake. Chocolate glazed Jameson infused bundt cake This super moist chocolate bundt cake calls for one cup of whiskey. However, don’t worry, you won’t get drunk off a slice of cake. Most of the alcohol burns off during baking. All you are left with is the alluring and lingering taste of whiskey. Irish whiskey is known for its smooth, rich oak flavor. It blends harmoniously with the sweet creamy chocolate. Need proof? Try this Irish Whiskey Stout Chocolate Cake! Bundt Cake Serving and Storage Tips: Best thing about this cake, you can make it ahead of time. The cake actually tastes better the following day when all the flavors have really sunk in. It stays fresh and moist for a couple days when wrapped or stored in an airtight container. Simply glaze with chocolate on serving day.

Jason Stone says: March 15, 2013 The cake looks amazing, congrats! And thanks for the recipe. I have some friends (both male&female) coming over on Sunday, to celebrate in style St.Patrick’s Day, and now you gave me a good idea of what to serve. I know I’ll dazzle them by showing my whiskey still, but I can’t wait to see their faces when they taste a cake…made by me! haha Reply
