I made this cake ahead of time, just to be sure that I gave the booze enough time to soak into the cake :-) This was a rare treat – a rich, unashamedly decadent treat!

Have to agree with the other reviews. This is terrific!! I froze half the cake for company later this month and I'll bet it will be just as good as the "fresh" cake. An easy to do real winner Dorothy.
