Irish Coffee Chocolate Cake

Today is National Irish Coffee Day. Last year I posted an Irish Coffee Chocolate Mousse recipe, and it's really good. This year, I'm posting a recipe for Irish Coffee Chocolate Cake. If you're a purist, you'll want to substitute your own chocolate cake and pudding recipes for the box mixes. If you're in a hurry, though, this is a great easy recipe! A terrific way to celebrate the day.

No time to bake? Go to your favorite Irish Pub and raise a glass of Irish Coffee. Have some chocolate in your pocket. Stir it in!
