Ingredients
French vanilla cake mix
1 (18 1/4 ounce box)
Coffee ice cream
1 (pint, melted)
Eggs
3 (large)
Cream cheese
1 (8 ounce package, softened)
Sour cream
1/4 (cup)
Unsalted butter
3 (tablespoons, softened)
Coffee liqueur
2 (tablespoons (such as Kahlua))
Vanilla extract
1 (teaspoon)
Confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 (cups)
Cocoa powder
1 (tablespoon, for dusting)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously coat a standard bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray, then dust with flour to ensure an easy release after baking.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the French vanilla cake mix, melted coffee ice cream, and eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 3 minutes until well blended and smooth.
3
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
4
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a plate to cool completely.
5
While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, unsalted butter, coffee liqueur, and vanilla extract on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and creamy, which should take about 2 minutes.
6
Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar while mixing on low speed, until well combined, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Once mixed, refrigerate the frosting until the cake has cooled.
7
Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the top and sides of the cake. For best flavor, refrigerate the decorated cake until ready to serve.
8
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder for a beautiful finish.
