Totally understand and agree. So I have an additional question for you. I have a Simone Beck chocolate cake recipe that.includes whiskey. In your understanding, will, say, a quarter of a cup of booze in an 8 or 9" cake cook off during baking? Our take is that it just isn't worth the risk for guests. Yours?
I don't. The taste/smell can trigger. Not worth it in my opinion.
