Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup whiskey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, whiskey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding ½ cup of chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
  • To make a whiskey chocolate ganache, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until simmering, then pour over 8 ounces of chopped dark chocolate and 2 tablespoons of whiskey. Stir until smooth and use to frost the cooled cake.
