Black Russian Cake

Another great recipe from Carrie!

warning: this can be addicitive!

18 oz. package yellow cake mix (without pudding in the mix)
6 oz. package of instant chocolate pudding mix
1/2 cup sugar
1 C. oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup kahlua
1/4 cup vodka

Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup kahlua

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour bundt pan. Combine all ingredients (except those for glaze) in a bowl (i use the stand mixer, but the recipe indicates that a hand mixer is fine, too.) Mix on low speed for 60 seconds. Increase speed to medium for 4 minutes (times should be precise). Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes* or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool for ten minutes and turn out onto rack. Poke cake all over with a fork. Drizzle glaze all over, brushing with a pastry brush to cover completely. When cool, sift powdered sugar on the top to garnish.

*the original recipe called for baking it 60-70 minutes. The first time I made it, I cooked it for 55 minutes and it was too dry. Maybe it's my oven but 45 minutes seemed perfect --a little gooey and delicious!
