SPIKED MUDSLIDE CAKE
This old-fashioned cake is buttery, tender and not too sweet, with a slightly dense crumb. The elegant frosting, made with a meringue-based buttercream, is perfumed with coffee liqueur. Make sure your butter is at room temperature, and beat it with the sugar for the full five minutes so the cake will bake up light and fully risen. It tastes best when served the day it is baked.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; dust with flour, and tap out the excess.
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure the batter is well mixed before adding the next egg. Beat in the vanilla until blended.
- Alternate folding the flour mixture and the milk into the butter mixture with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. (The batter may look slightly curdled as you mix it, but this is not a problem.) Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake until the cakes are golden and the centers spring back to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pans about 10 minutes, turn out onto cooling racks and let cool completely. Turn the cakes over, and poke the tops all over with the tines of a fork. Generously brush the tops with the liqueur, letting it soak in before brushing on more.
- For the frosting: While the cakes cool, bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Set a large heatproof bowl over it (do not let the bowl touch the water), add the egg whites and sugar and whisk until the mixture is warm and the sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan, and beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, 4 to 7 minutes. Beat in the butter a few pieces at a time, and continue beating until the frosting is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. (Don't worry if the mixture becomes soupy or looks separated; keep beating and it will come together.) Stir the Kahlua and instant coffee together until dissolved, and beat into the frosting with the mixer running on low speed. Increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- To assemble: Place 1 cake layer right-side up on a cake plate or stand, and spread with 1 cup of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Steps:
- 1. Bake the cake according to the instruction on the box in a 9x13" pan. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. While your cake is cooling, prepare your ganache. In a heat proof bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Place on top of a pot of simmering water on medium high heat. Allow the chocolate to begin to melt and stir with a whisk to combine.
- 2. Whisk until chocolate and cream are completely melted and mixed together. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in 1 tablespoon of Baileys liquor. Drizzle the ganache over top of the cake. In a separate bowl, combine the instant chocolate pudding and milk together.
- 3. Whisk until well combined. Before the pudding sets, while it is still pourable, dump the pudding over top of the cake and spread with a spatula if necessary.Allow the pudding and cake to set in the fridge for at least an hour. In the meantime,Take the end of a wooden spoon or another round object and poke holes all over the top of your cake. you can prepare your mousse.
- 4. MOUSSE: In a medium sized bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with the milk and liquors. Whisk together until combined. Put in the fridge to set while your cake is setting as well.
- 5. Once your cake is ready, remove the mousse from the fridge. Use a spatula to fold in an entire container of cool whip. Spread the mousse over top of cake. I topped the cake with additional chocolate shavings.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cake mix: A good cake mix will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a cake mix that is moist and flavorful.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until it is well combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a delicious frosting: The frosting is what really makes a mudslide cake special. Choose a frosting that is rich and creamy, such as a chocolate ganache or a whipped cream frosting.
- Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings, crushed cookies, or sprinkles: This will add a fun and festive touch to your cake.
