    Does the alcohol bake out of cakes? 

    It's a common belief that alcohol bakes out of boozy cake recipes, leaving only the flavor behind. However, alcohol does not completely evaporate when cakes or other dishes are baked.

    Cooking and baking will remove some of the alcohol, but not all. In addition, most of our cakes fillings, frostings, and simple syrups that contain alcohol are not cooked.

    • A study by the USDA several years ago showed that 5 to 85 percent of alcohol will remain in a recipe depending on the baking time. It's best to assume that there is alcohol remaining in the finished cake.
