Preparation
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl with a mixer, combine the butter and sugar beating for about 3 minutes. Add the bourbon, vanilla, eggs and blend well.
In another bowl combine and blend the espresso, cacao powder, oat flour, baking powder, salt and blend. Combine half into wet mixture, mix, and combine the remainder. Fold the almonds, coconut (optional) and about half of the pomegranate seeds. Pour into a greased baking dish~~about 1 1/2 to 2 inch thickness.
Bake in a preheated 350 oven about 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out basically clean from the center.
For more moistness reduce baking time to about 18-20 minutes. Let cool completely before putting on the drizzle.
Step 2
Put the chocolate (both types) in a glass bowl that will go atop a double boiler. Microwave the chocolate about 30 seconds on high. Place on the double boiler (hot water) & whisk in the cream until smooth. Add the salt and oil and blend. Cool somewhat and put in a squeeze drizzle bottle. When the cake is cool, drizzle with the chocolate.
Sprinkle on the remaining pomegranate seeds and sprinkle with finishing salt.
Let the cake cool completely before drizzling on the chocolate.
Use a squeeze bottle for drizzling the chocolate.
