It’s very easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly as stated. I'm not sure why the nutmeg is there since there was no hint of its taste, and I'm not sure it is important you include it in the recipe. It took me 15 minutes, not about 5 minutes as stated in the recipe, for my mixture to start to thicken. Your butter must be at room temperature because it won't all melt if it is the least bit cool. The taste of bourbon is not overpowering. In fact it's just the right touch. This is a perfect dessert to serve when you want to make a big impression or when you are just serving your family.

It helped to let the "cake" sit at room temperature for a little while, to make serving and eating a bit easier. I served it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of grated nutmeg on the cream. Definitely rich, definitely satisfying. And perfect for parties because it can sit in the freezer ahead of time! Although, I'm tempted to serve it in small cups as a warm pudding-like dish, too.

This chocolate cake was simple to make, had a beautiful presentation, and was deadly rich and delicious. Definitely a keeper. I served it with a small dollop of whipped cream. It’s a perfect way to end a special meal—everyone asked for the recipe. Next time I might substitute rum or chocolate liqueur for the bourbon but bourbon is very Southern. [Susan Epstein] WOW!

What a heavenly dessert that melted in your mouth like a divine chocolate truffle! My husband and guests couldn't quit raving about this chocolate cake. I made it a week before our dinner party, froze it and it was perfect. The instructions were very easy to follow and I would definitely make this again and again. [Sandy Hill] Wow!
