Black Russian Cake

Here's a tasty cake for a hot summer night. Serve with your favorite iced or cold press Peace Coffee.

Ingredients

Cake:
1 package dark chocolate cake mix
1 cup vegetable oil
1 (3-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding
4 eggs
3/4 cup strong Peace Coffee (dark roast works best)
1/2 cup creme de cacao
1/4 cup Kahlua

Topping:
1 cup confectioner's sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons strong Peace Coffee (dark roast works best)
2 tablespoons Kahlua
2 tablespoons creme de cacao

Instructions

Combine the cake mix, oil, pudding mix, eggs, coffee, creme de cacao, and kahlua 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 F. Remove from the pan and invert onto a serving plate. Punch holes throughout the cake with a skewer or ice pick. Prepare the topping by combining the confectioner's sugar, coffee, kahlua, and creme de cacao. Mix well and spoon over the warm cake.
