Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 yellow cake mix
3.4 oz box of chocolate pudding (not instant, cook and serve)
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 cup of vegetable oil
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup vodka (I used 360 double chocolate vodka)
1/4 cup Kahlua
4 eggs
1/4 cup Kahlua
1/2 cup powdered sugar
10 oz dark bar chocolate (Do not use chocolate chips)
1 pint Heavy Whipping Cream (* make sure it's not "Ultra-Pasteurized")

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease tube or bundt pan.
  • Combine all of the cake ingredients together, and mix until combined. Pour into the cake pan and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Allow pan to cool at least 15 minutes. Run a knife around the perimeter of the pan and turn onto a cooling rack.
  • Using a skewer, poke holes into the cake. Mix Kahlua and powdered sugar together until smooth. Pour over the cake.
  • Chop chocolate bar into small pieces. I don't use chocolate chips for this because they contain stabilizers to keep their shape during baking. I don't measure the whipped cream, I just pour it over the chocolate until most of the chocolate is covered. Probably close to a cup. Don't choose Ultra-Pasteurized cream because it can contain water that will seize your chocolate. Microwave at 50% power one minute at a time. Stir after each minute until smooth. Add additional cream to thin if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition.
  • Glaze or cover cake with ganache. Allow to set up (or freeze briefly) before any additional decorating.

Tips:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to combine more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Use a good quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a high percentage of cocoa solids (at least 70%).
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • When making the frosting, use a good quality butter. This will make the frosting smooth and creamy.
  • If you don't have sour cream on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of heavy cream. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

The Black Russian Cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
