Kentucky mudslide cake
Cakes
This cake is overloaded with good stuff. Or, more accurately, simply loaded. I took a few liberties with Jocelyn's recipe for Mississippi Mudslide Cake from her new Grandbaby Cakes cookbook, swapping the Kahlua for bourbon, so I figured calling it a Kentucky Mudslide Cake was more appropriate. You could also use whiskey and you'd have yourself a Tennessee Mudslide Cake. Or some sultry spiced rum for a Jamaican Mudslide Cake. Or... Well, you get the point. Basically, any booze'll do. I may have been a little heavy handed with the bourbon, adding an entire 3 tablespoons to a half-batch of the whipped cream (sometimes my math skills get a little tipsy... totally unrelated to the recipe). Upon sharing it with our neighbor-down-the-hall, he declared that it reminded him of his Grandmother's bourbon balls. My grandmother never made bourbon balls, but I assume that's a good thing. There's no denying it tastes like bourbon, I'll tell you that much. I love how easy this cake comes together.
