This recipe came from Leslie Lotina, who got it from a friend of hers. In spite of some odd sounding directions, this cake was good and was not too "alcoholly." (Is that a word?)
Take one box of chocolate cake. make according to package directions but substitute strong black coffee for the water. Bake according to package directions.
when the cake comes out of the oven, poke holes in it with a fork. Then pour whiskey over the cake to soak in. I used about an ounce and 1/2 - 2 ounces. I put it in a turkey baster and sprinkled it all over the cake. (It took about two turkey basters.)
Then I whipped some cream, plopped it on each piece then sprinkled about 1 teaspoon of Creme de Menthe over the whipped cream. It was good. You can only buy big bottles of Creme de Menthe at the ABC store in North Carolina, so if you want to bake this ask to borrow my bottle!!! Also, ignore the kid's cries of dismay at the bright green "cough syrup" poured over their cake. They get over it.
