Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 16.5-ounce box chocolate cake mix, plus required ingredients
3 tablespoons instant espresso powder
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
One 3.4-ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chocolate covered espresso beans, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Combine cake mix and 2 tablespoons of the instant espresso powder. Prepare and bake the cake according to the package directions for a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cool completely on a wire rack. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke 25 holes in the cake (make 5 rows of 5).
  • Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, pudding mix, 1/2 cup of the heavy cream and 1/2 cup liqueur in a medium bowl for 2 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes for the pudding to set.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons liqueur and remaining 1 tablespoon espresso powder in a small bowl until the powder dissolves. Whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream together with the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add the espresso liqueur mixture and whip just to incorporate.
  • Spread the pudding mixture over the top of the cake, making sure the holes get filled completely. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface. Chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until soft. Let cool slightly. Drizzle over the top of the cake, then sprinkle with the chopped espresso beans and serve cold.

Tips:

  • To make the pistachio frosting, start by finely grinding the pistachios in a food processor until they resemble a coarse powder.
  • When making the cake batter, be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to give the cake a tender crumb.
  • Do not overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • When making the frosting, be sure to beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. This will help to give the frosting a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar to the frosting, mixing until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thin, add a little bit more powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Once the frosting is ready, spread it evenly over the cooled cake.
  • Decorate the cake with additional pistachios, if desired.
