This really should be called Booze Cake. I love it. My mom introduced this recipe to me years ago. It's a regular menu item at our house during the holidays. It just seems to compliment so many different kinds of meals. I especially like it because it doesn't have a thick frosting to it. . .just a simple glaze. It's cheating a bit, with the addition of the cake mix and pudding mix. I don't care. It's foolproof. And tastes even better the following day. I'm bringing this one to my in-laws for Christmas Eve dinner.
Black Russian Cake
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1 small pkg. instant chocolate pudding (can use sugar free)
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup Canola Oil
4 large eggs
1/4 cup vodka
3 Tbsp. coffee liqueur (Kahlua)
3/4 cup water
Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup coffee liqueur
Grease and flour bundt pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, sugar, oil, and eggs. Blend well with a mixer. Add liquid ingredients and beat on medium for 4 minutes. Pour into bundt pan and bake for 55-60 minutes.
Cake is done when toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes.
Combine the glaze ingredients together with a whisk. Invert cake onto a plate. Poke holes in the cake with a fork. Pour the glaze over the cake, continuing to poke holes as you glaze.
Cool the cake and sprinkle again with powdered sugar. Instant prettiness!
