Cake mix makes it easy to make this cake. Pudding and sour cream produce a moist crumb, and the addition of coffee liquor provides lovely flavor. Top with freshly whipped cream and fresh berries for a decadent treat.

Instructions

  • Remove cake from oven.
  • Combine powdered sugar, Kahlua liquor, and brewed coffee until there are no lumps.
  • Use a wooden skewer to poke holes in the bottom of the cake.
  • Slowly pour glaze onto cake allowing it to soak into the cake.
  • Use a rubber spatula to gently pull cake away from the edges of the pan so glaze can run down along edges of the cake.
  • Allow cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a cake plate to cool completely.

To serve:

  • Dust cake with powdered sugar.
  • In a mixing bowl combine heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla. Whip on high speed till soft peaks form.
