here's my fave party cake obsession...

BLACK RUSSIAN CAKE
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 creme de cacao

1/4 cup Kahlua




topping:

1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted

2 tablespoons strong coffee

2 tablespoons creme de cacao

2 tablespoons Kahlua

For the cake, combine the cake mix, oil, pudding mix, eggs, coffee, creme de cacao and Kahlua in a large bowl. Beat 4 minutes until quite smooth. Pour into a well greased 10-inch tube pan until 3/4 full. (Save any remaining batter for cupcakes...) Bake 45 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees. 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 confectioners' sugar, coffee, Kahlua and creme de cacao. Mix well and spoon over the warm cake.

This looks incredible! I can't wait to try it. Does it keep well or should I serve it the day it is made?

you can definitely serve it a day or two after it's been made...
