Consumption of Foods Containing Alcohol

Question
From Russia: What is the ruling on eating cakes and chocolates and similar items that contain alcohol "spirit" in their ingredients?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is forbidden if the mixture contains something derived from wine, which is the raw juice of grapes when it boils and thickens and produces foam. As for what is derived from other sources, the original ruling is permissibility. And God knows best.
