In the not-too-distant future I'll be involved in a throw-down style competition among friends. The dealio is we'll have to incorporate a third friend's Kentucky moonshine - the real deal.
Is it possible to make something like a layer cake or jelly roll, and soak it, or does the sweet stuff need to be a part of the mix for cooking?
Anyone have experience with this?

1. Bake the cake and pour the booze into it... |
|
the way rum babas are made: http://www.mangiabenepasta.com/rum_baba.html(this is just one recipe-- the cake part can be pretty much any sort of cake or cupcake) OTOH, there are some things that have the booze mixed in, but they're more like candy: http://www.joyofbaking.com/BourbonBalls.html

http://www.rachaelraymag.com/Recipes/rachael-ray-magazine-recipe-index/dessert-recipes/Chocolate-Whiskey-Cake1/2 whiskey in the cake on this one... but I use alcohol in tiramisu or fruitcake or blackforest cake or a triffle by dipping or soaking or brushing... this sounds like a fun contest...

6. Funny You Should Mention That |
|
I was thinking about tiramisu and actually picked up some lady fingers to try and mess around with it.
I suppose I could try to do something normal, like a chicken or pasta sauce ..

3. Moonshine has a very astringent like flavor |
|
At least that's been my experience. I'd probably flavor it before brushing on a cake or adding to a dessert. You can find recipes on line for flavored vodkas which would work.
You also could use it in a marinade....It'll tenderize anything. Just use a light hand and some strongly flavored herbs.

4. Is Kentucky moonshine anything like Irish poteen? |
|
I've had the latter. My aunt, a nun, brought it through customs claiming it was holy water. The stuff is clear like water but so strong that, in my limited experience, it is watered down in a toddy or similar drink.
