I absolutely love boozy desserts! If you're a huge fan as well then this recipe was created specifically for you. This easy-to-make chocolate pudding cake is the ultimate comfort dessert. It's decadent and consists of a layer of whiskey fudge sauce which magically forms underneath the cake while baking. I like to serve mine warm with a scoop of dulce de leche ice cream.
