This cake was inspired by a hot buttered rum I once made for a dinner party. There are layers of spiced cake brushed with a rum syrup, then sandwiched with brown sugar spiced buttercream!

3 - Tipsy Cake

Tipsy Cake is a boozy, old-fashioned dessert that sits somewhere between a cake and a trifle. This version is inspired by Chef Heston Blumenthal who gave it a modern twist by soaking rich brioche buns in a luscious cream flavoured with sauternes and brandy!

5 - Chocolate Whisky Cake

This chocolate whisky cake doesn't have a long list of ingredients and is also gluten free. Dense and indulgent, it's best served with a dollop of cream and a drizzle of chocolate whisky sauce!

So tell me Dear Reader, which of these boozy desserts would your dad be most excited to try? Do you prefer rich chocolatey treats or lighter, citrusy options for a special occasion?
