Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Generously grease a bundt pan with butter or cooking spray, then dust with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, making sure to shake off any excess to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant chocolate pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, strong black coffee, and coffee liqueur. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Pour the ready batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
7
Prepare the glaze by whisking together the remaining 1/4 cup of coffee liqueur and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
8
Using a toothpick, gently pierce the top of the cake in several places to allow the glaze to seep in.
9
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake, letting it soak in slightly. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
