Cake Mix Doctor's Black Russian Cake

By prairiemama

Created by Carolyn Kent, based on the Black Russian cocktail made of two parts vodka and one part coffee liqueur. I like the combination of flavors so much, I use
the glaze for this cake on many of the cake mix doctor's chocolate cakes

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350.
Lightly spray and dust a 12-cup bundt pan. Shake out excess flour. Set pan aside.

In a large bowl combine the cake mix, pudding, oil, water, sugar, eggs, Kahlua and vodka, blending on low speed with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more.

Scrape the sides of the bowl. Batter should look thick and well combined.

Pour into pan, smoothing out top with spatula.

Bake for 60-65 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly pressed with your finger and is just starting to pull away from the sides of the pan.

Place on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Run a long knife along the edge of the cake and invert on serving plate.

Glaze:
Blend well. Poke holes in the top of the cake with a wooden skewer. I use a plastic bottle with a nozzle tip (like to use ketsup mustard bottles for outdoor use), put everything in there and shake it up.

Put the nozzle in the holes & squeeze the glaze in the holes.

Squirt the rest of the glaze over the cake.

Let the cake set for 10 minutes before serving.
