Category: Cakes from Cake Mixes

Cake
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) pkg instant chocolate pudding mix
4 eggs
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup Irish Cream liqueur

Glaze
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup bourbon

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.

In a large bowl, combine cake ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour batter into pan. Bake 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then invert onto the serving dish. Prick top and sides of cake; spoon glaze over top of cake and brush onto sides. Allow glaze to absorb, repeat until all glaze is used up.

To make the glaze: In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the bourbon.
