This chocolate cake is infused with the flavor of Irish cream coffee—the perfect dessert for grown-ups! It's also incredibly easy to make. The crust is baked using store-bought chocolate sponge mix with a little instant coffee added to deepen the flavor. Then, as many holes as possible are made in the cake to allow the delicious Irish cream pudding filling to flow through. The whole thing is topped with coffee-flavored whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate. The filling, like the crust, is made using store-bought mix, so this cake is a breeze. Sprinkle with chocolate-covered coffee beans and serve cold.
