Sharing is Caring...
And I know you hoe's love baked goods and booze.
So here is it... Black Russian Cake (I made it today for the first time in a while and decided it was an easy recipe to share... and I never seem to share recipes...)
Black Russian Cake -
1 box yellow butter recipe cake mix (I prefer Betty Crocker)
1 large box (5.9oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup water
4 eggs
1/4 cup Kahlua
1/4 cup Vodka (I will often just do a 1/2 cup of Kahlua or you can sub water for the vodka)
Pre-heat oven to 350.
Generously spray a bundt pan or tube pan with Non-Stick Spray.
Throw all ingredients in a mixer and beat on med for about 4-5 minutes (until smooth and kinda fluffy).
Pour batter into pan and bake for approx 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
While cooling, make glaze.
GLAZE:
Kahlua
Powdered Sugar
Vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp
You can make the glaze as thick or as thin as you want. The thinner it is, it will just soak into the cake. I like mine a little thicker so that when it dries, you have a thin layer of icing on the cake. Whisk all ingredients together.
Remove cake from pan while still slightly warm. Place cake on a plate or sheet of parchment/wax paper. Drizzle glaze on top and allow to set.
ENJOY. Super yummy with your morning coffee and keeps well on the counter if stored in a well sealed container. (About 5-7 days)
