BLACK RUSSIAN CAKE

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.
