Texas whiskey cake recipe1/13/2024 Whiskey Cake will also give you your whipped cream in a separate bowl, you know, so you can heap on a new scoop for every bite you take. I’ll be honest, I ate more cake than anything else that night. The cake just soaks up all the caramel-y goodness of the sauce and is good to the point where your stomach never gives the signal to stop eating it. This is now a major craving generator for me. This toffee torte is moist, perfectly dense and drenched in rich bourbon sauce, topped with pecans and fresh whipped cream. These type of appetizers are a great food-experience investment: you get a lot of taste with little to no risk and for real….it’s just fun to play the “what pairs better with what” game. The picoso is spicy and creamy, made with a few different types of chiles and the Cafetero with cow’s milk, ground coffee, butter, black pepper. Both of those cheese are Texas babies and new to me. Picoso and Cafetero cheeses, cured ham, honey, pickled onions, pimento cheese, stone ground mustard and a strawberry sauce. We wanted a small sample of local cheeses and meats so we opted for their cheese board. The servers always know about where your food comes from and even about the last minute chef additions to the menu. Obviously it can’t support the entire restaurant but farms throughout Texas do a good job of that. Their small garden outside is packed with herbs, flowers and occasional veggies that the gardener tends to and hauls it’s bounty in (big or small) daily for mostly the bar tender and whatever they can use it for that day. Home grown and home made is Whiskey Cake’s thing, and it’s a thing well done. Whiskey Cake has a couple of locations in Texas and one just happens to be not too far from my house serving up fresh, local and delicious food. I even order it to come at the same time I get my food so that 1 – I’m sure to get it before they run out 2 – I make sure I eat some before I’m too full. I passed on it the first time I went and now I know better. First things first, if the restaurant is the name sake of the cake they sell, get the cake.
