Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 15.25 oz. box dark chocolate cake mix homemade also works
  • 4 oz. package instant chocolate pudding (just the powder)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup brewed coffee cooled
  • ¼ cup crème de cocoa
  • 1/3 cup Kahlúa

For the Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp brewed coffee
  • 2 tbsp Kahlúa
  • 2 tbsp crème de cocoa

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine all the ingredients for the cake in a large bowl; whisk together until fully incorporated and smooth. Pour into the bundt pan and bake 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes; invert from pan onto a serving plate.
  • Prepare the icing by combining all the ingredients until smooth.
  • With a skewer or the handle of a small wooden spoon, punch holes throughout the cake and pour the icing over the cake while it is still warm.
  • You can serve right away or let rest for at least an hour so the cake can absorb the mixture more. Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream and strawberries, if desired.

Notes

  • Kahlúa and Crème de cocoa - Kahlúa is a coffee-flavored rum-based liqueur and crème de cocoa is a sweet, light chocolate liqueur, which has a flavor of cocoa and vanilla. Both can be found in the liqueur section of most grocery stores.
  • For a different flavor, use a coffee, hazelnut, or almond liqueur. You can also use Baileys Irish Cream in place of the crème de cocoa, if preferred.
  • A 13×9-inch baking pan holds 14 cups and can be substituted in this Bundt cake recipe. Cooking time may vary, so start checking on it sooner than directed.
