You could be at a restaurant and notice that the dessert menu offers a "bourbon brownie covered in pecans and vanilla ice cream."
The use of alcohol is more or less used as a flavor enhancer and is used rather sparingly when preparing desserts.
The usual amount of alcohol found in something like cakes or brownies is so low that one would barely feel any effect.
By the time the dessert has been portioned out, any alcoholic content is likely minimal.
However, if you're worried, be sure to pace yourself and don't indulge on an empty stomach.
According to Insider, eating meals with alcohol in them can indeed raise your blood alcohol level the same way drinking a straight glass of liquor would.

Fortunately, while rum cake does often — even after baking — contain some quantity of alcohol, a single serving shouldn't be potent enough for you to notice the effects. You'd have to eat a lot of that cake to get a buzz. If we return to that same Jamaican rum cake recipe, you will see that it is soaked with a rum syrup made with an additional half cup of rum. Combined with the 8% in the cake itself, you have 21% of a drink in each slice. It isn't a lot — you'd have to put down five servings to equate to a single shot — but it also isn't nothing.
