1 tsp instant coffee powder
1/4 c coffee
1 Tbsp coffee flavored liqueur

1/2 c confectioners' sugar
2 Tbsp coffee flavored liqueur
FROSTING
2 c heavy cream
1/4 c confectioners' sugar
2 Tbsp coffee flavored liqueur

1 oz square semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 3 (9-in) pans.
  • 2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Divide two-thirds of batter between 2 pans. Stir instant coffee into remaining batter; pour into remaining pan.
  • 3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. In a measuring cup, combine brewed coffee and 1 Tablespoon coffee liqueur; set aside.
  • 4. To make filling: In a small bowl, using an electric mixer set on low speed, combine mascarpone, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 Tablespoons coffee liqueur; beat just until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Pour one-third of reserved coffee mixure over cake, then spread with half of the filling mixture. Top with coffee-flavored cake layer; poke holes in cake. Pour another third of the coffee over the the second layer and spread with the remaining filling.
  • 7. Top with the remaining cake layer; poke holes in cake. Pour remaining coffee mixture on top. Spread sides and top of cake with frosting. Place cocoa in a sieve and lightly dust top of cake. Garnish with chocolate curls. Refigerate 30 minutes before serving
