If you don't have wihiskey don't make the cake. You don't taste the whiskey, however, if you are an alcoholic or recovering alcoholic or if its because of religiosity, then make a chocolate cake. It is one of the best cakes Ive ever eaten. Whiskey is expensive and there are lots of other cakes to make without having to buy this one item. But, you will be missing out !

The alcohol is burnt off..with remaining taste of what ever you use.

What if I don't have whiskey, which is something I do no buy, is there a viable substitute in its place?
