A Serious Chocolate Cake
List of Ingredients

1 package dark-chocolate cake mix
1 cup vegetable oil
1 (3-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding
4 eggs
3/4 cup strong coffee
1/2 cup cr�me de cacao
1/4 cup Kahl�a
Topping:
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 Tablespoons strong coffee

Recipe
For the cake, combine the cake mix, oil, pudding mix, eggs, coffee, cr�me de cacao, and Kahl�a in a large bowl. Beat for 4 minutes until quite smooth. Pour into a greased 10-inch tube pan until three-fourths full. (Save any remaining batter for cupcakes or to simply eat on the spot.) Bake 45 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from the pan and invert on a serving plate. Punch holes throughout the cake with a skewer or ice pick. Prepare the topping by combining the confectioners' sugar, coffee, Kahl�a, and cr�me de cacao. Mix well and spoon over the warm cake.
