Chocolate Whisky cake的做法  

1. Boil water

2. Pour 1 cup boiled water to the bowl with 2oz chocolate and 1 cup cocoa powder to “bloom” them

3. Add 2 cup sugar; 1 cup of vegetable oil. Whisk to combine

4. Make sure the batter is cool enough. Add 4 eggs and 1/2 smashed banana (original recipe called for 3 eggs and 2 egg yolks)

5. Add 1 tbsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp whiskey

6. Sift in dry ingredients. DONT OVERWORK THE BATTER! Just use a whisk to combine till the portion of dry ingredients disappear.
   
   Sift in 1.25 cup flour, 1.5 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda

7. Pour batter into the Bundt pan. I used the springform pan here. Could also use two standard cake pans.
   
   Tap on counter to release bubbles.
   

8. If Bundt cake, bake 40 mins in 350F
   
   If springform, bake 57 mins in 350F

9. Wait till the cake is cool enough to work on, transfer out of the pan and get ready for glaze

10. Glaze prep: take our cream to room temp or even warm

11. Caramel glaze:
    High heat for 2 cup of sugar. Till it turns caramel, stir a bit till translucent. (Don’t stir early! Sugar will form chunks that are hard to melt down)
    
    Keep the heat high and pour in 1/2 cup warm heavy cream. It will bubble drastically. Stir till it calms down. (MAKE SURE THAT BOTH CARAMEL AND CREAM ARE HOT, OR THEY WILL CONGEAL)
    
    Turn off heat and add 1/4 tsp salt.
    
    Pour hot caramel glaze over cake
    
    Don’t move the glazed cake till completely cool

12. Serve with whiskey whipped cream
    Combine 2 cups of cream, 2 tbsp sugar, 1.5 tbsp whiskey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whip till soft peak. Serve a dollop on the side of the cake
