I’d like to think I was the first to come up with a Kentucky bourbon cake, but with a little research, anyone can see that it has been around for decades and probably longer. I mean, at some point, someone has had to realize that ever’thing is better with bourbon, includin’ cake. The twist on two of my favorite things, cake and bourbon, is to add an awe-inspirin’ chocolate ganache with bourbon to an already boozy confection.
