This moist cake is so delicious with its luscious coffee-flavored icing. Guests usually ask for the recipe. —Gloria Warczak, Cedarburg, Wisconsin

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min. + cooling

Yield: 12 Servings

20 35 55

Ingredients

1 package devil's food cake mix (regular size)
1 package (3.4 ounces) cook-and-serve chocolate pudding mix
1 envelope whipped topping mix (Dream Whip)
1 cup water
1/4 cup canola oil
4 eggs
MOCHA RUM ICING:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
2 tablespoons refrigerated nondairy creamer
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
2 to 3 tablespoons brewed coffee
Chopped pecans, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 4 minutes. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
For icing, in a small bowl, beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, cocoa, creamer, extract and enough coffee to achieve desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cake. Garnish with pecans if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
