Chocolate Whiskey Cake

I found this recipe via Gourmet a while back and have been meaning to give it a try. Well, this morning I finally got around to making it and I'm so glad I did. This cake is absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (plus a little for dusting)
• 1 1/2 cups brewed coffee
• 1/2 cup whiskey
• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a bundt pan and dust it with cocoa powder, knocking out the excess.

Heat coffee, whiskey, butter, and cocoa powder in a heavy saucepan until butter is melted. Remove from heat, add sugar and whisk until dissolved. Cool 5 minutes.

While chocolate mixture cools, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together eggs and vanilla in a small bowl, then whisk into cooled chocolate mixture until combined.

Add flour mixture and whisk until just combined (batter will be thin and bubbly).

Pour batter into bundt pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
