Irish Chocolate Coffee Bundt Cake Recipes

IRISH COFFEE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• You should prepare the chocolate cake according to the directions on the cake box, but use cold coffee instead of water. Bake the cake in a 9 x 13 inch cake pan. After baking use a fork to poke holes evenly over the top of the cake. Set the cake aside to cool slightly while you prepare the coffee/whiskey syrup.
• Mix the sugar and 1/4 cup of the strong coffee. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute. Allow to cool till warm, but not hot. Stir in whiskey and pour over the top of the slightly cooled cake. Cover the cake and allow it to cool completely.
• Once the cake has cooled completely, mix the remaining 1/4 cup HOT coffee and the tub of cream cheese frosting. It will be almost pourable and much easier to spread. Pour the frosting over the top of the cake, cover and place in the fridge to set frosting.
• *I chose to dust the top of the frosting very lightly with some powdered instant coffee (optional).

COFFEE AND IRISH CREAM BUNDT® CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt® pan.
• Mix together coffee and espresso powder in a small bowl or measuring cup until dissolved. Set aside.
• Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Cream together butter, cream cheese, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add coffee-espresso mixture and vanilla and mix until combined. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Pour in Irish cream and mix until combined. Add remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
• Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan. Tap pan gently on the counter a few times to disperse any air bubbles.
• Place pan into the preheated oven and bake until the top of the cake springs back lightly when touched, 55 to 60 minutes. Allow cake to cool for 15 minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
