Chocolate and Whisky Brownie Cake
These two flavours go together so well you'll wonder why you haven't tried this combination before. If you have children who are keen for a piece, cut the cake in half and soak only one half in a couple of tablespoons of whisky.
- Vegetarian
- Preparation time: 15 minutes
- Cooking time: 40 minutes, plus 15 minutes cooling and at least 10 minutes steeping
- Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes
- Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 150g Continental Plain Chocolate, roughly chopped
- Malteaster bunnies
- 150g butter, diced
- 2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
- 250g caster sugar
- ½ x 100g pack Pecan Nut Halves (optional)
- 125g self raising flour, sifted
- 50ml Kingsbarns Single Malt Whisky
To serve
- 1 tbsp Icing Sugar
- 400g raspberries
- 284ml Double Cream
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Grease and line a 22cm round spring-form cake tin with baking parchment.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a pan over a very low heat.
- Remove from the heat.
- Stir in the eggs, caster sugar and pecans (if using) and mix well. Then fold in the flour until evenly blended.
- Pour the mixture into the tin, level the surface and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 35 minutes until risen and set on top but still moist inside. To test, insert a knife or skewer into the centre - it should be slightly sticky when removed. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 15 minutes. Then remove from the tin and peel away the parchment.
- Transfer the cake to a plate and slowly pour over the whisky, allowing it to steep into the cake for at least 10 minutes or overnight. Dust with the icing sugar and serve with raspberries and cream.

Introducing our newest single malt whisky, matured exclusively in ex-peated casks.
These casks impart a range of smoky flavours, which Isabella Wemyss expertly blends to ensure consistency and introduce a sweet, soft smoke.
Coaltown of Wemyss is a mining village situated near Wemyss Castle, the ancestral home of the Wemyss family, who have deep roots in Fife and a long-standing connection to whisky, Drawing inspiration from this rich heritage, we are delighted to introduce Coaltown to our core range of Kingsbarns Single Malts.
We pride ourselves on maintaining an expert balance between our light spirit style and the quality cask influence, ensuring that the casks compliment rather than overpower the whisky. This expression is a testament to our dedication to creating harmonious and nuanced Lowland whiskies.
Coaltown captures its heritage in its flavour profile, featuring a delicate sweet smoke note that compliments our classic fruity, slightly floral Lowland spirit. This release is perfect for newcomers to smoky whiskies and offers seasoned drinkers a complex and nuanced Lowland dram to explore.

Our Journey
In 2023, we launched Doocot, the next evolution of our Distillery's flagship whisky, showcasing how additional years of maturation have refined and enhanced our classic Lowland spirit style. Since then, Doocot has been honoured with the World Whisky Award gold for Lowland Single Malt, a testament to the expertise and craftsmanship that define every expression we create.
Building on this success, we are excited to introduce Kingsbarns Coaltown, designed to demonstrate our mastery in achieving a delicate balance of cask and spirit influence in our whiskies. Kingsbarns Coaltown will become the third expression in our core range, offering a truly unique Kingsbarns flavour experience. This new release represents our Lowland take on a smoky whisky, showcasing our innovative spirit and dedication to excellence.
