Oscar Wilde Cupcakes: Boozy Chocolate With Pecan Praline Filling
Today we’re saying “Happy Birthday” to the greatest dandy of them all—Irish poet, playwright and novelist—the formidable Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde.
Wilde was known for his wit and a love of all things decadent. In honor of this chap’s 159th birthday (I’d hate to see what the portrait in his attic looks like now!), here’s a sinfully decadent and boozy cupcake recipe, full of chocolate, buttery pecans and, of course, Irish whiskey. As someone who once said, “I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best,” then this is a birthday treat that delivers, and can entertain the likes of people like Lord Goring and Lady Bracknell.
