Mocha Bundt Cake

SUBMITTED BY: Mark Trinklein

"'Yum - what moist, rich cake!' is a typical comment when folks take a bite of this lovely dessert. Bittersweet chocolate and strong coffee pair up to deliver the distinctive taste. A dusting of confectioners' sugar is all you need to top this flavorful cake. -Mark Trinklein, Cedarburg, Wisconsin"

i actually cut this recipe in half and took "mellowcheddar"'s advice with the water instead of vodka. It worked out well and tasted perfect! I'd make this again!

OK, admittedly I had to mess with this recipe to accomodate what I had laying around. Some of the chocolate I used was dark, so I cut the sugar by 1/4 cup. I don't keep liquor in the house so I used 1 1/2 t. water and tacked on another 1/2 t. vanilla instead of using the rum. BUT this is the first time I made it and MMMMM is it good! This is what chocolate cake is SUPPOSED to taste like!

The recipe produced more batter than necessary and it was soupy. The cake baked over the top of the pan. Next time, I will pour less batter into the cake pan. Also, I wasn't sure if the coffee should be hot when it is added or cooled first. Nevertheless, the cake turned out delicious! I would make it again.
