What's the best cake you've ever had? Taste & look wise...

Chocolate Kugelhopf.

Flourless orange cake! Florentines?

Make a small round cake you are comfortable making, ice it with frosting, stick chocolate shards (you can get dairy free chocolate), all around the sides with the shards being taller then the cake. Fill the top with berries or fruit of your choice.

Ok, I'm thinking chocolate mud cake in a bundt tin, with powdered sugar over the top.

I found a good recipe (I only like chocolate cake if they have real chocolate & cocoa powder), but this one also calls for bourbon. Has anyone used bourbon in a cake, and does it give an alcohol-y taste?

Otherwise I found a nice chocolate cinnamon recipe which looks good... I want something that will appeal to most people.

And now I have to get started bakin 19 of them!

You can just omit the bourbon from the recipe if you don't want to us it. It will taste of alcohol, depending on the amount. Some like the taste, some don't. I would er of the side of caution and leave it out personally.

Good luck!
