Can I bake with alcohol? The website says I can not bake chocolate with alcohol but I have a recipe that calls for 1/2 cup alcohol to yield 33 cupcakes.

Expert Response

That recipe the alcohol would cook out in the cupcakes.  However, you should contact your local MDARD inspector just to confirm they allow it.
