1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cups Milk
1 Tablespoon Instant Coffee Granules
1 box Moist Chocolate Cake Mix, 18 Ounce Box

1
For the cake:
2
Preheat oven to 350 F.
3
In a large bowl blend together the wet ingredients (eggs through milk). Add instant coffee granules, then cake mix and mix until just incorporated. Pour batter into a greased bundt pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until your kitchen smells like hot chocolate.
4
Take cake out of oven, do a toothpick-test to make sure it comes out clean (assuming it does, you are done; if not, put it back into the oven for a couple more minutes) and let it cool in the cake pan for about 10 minutes. Then, turn it onto a rack and allow it to cool completely.
5
For the icing:
6
The icing is a snap. In a small bowl or cup dissolve the instant coffee in a bit of hot water. Put the powdered sugar in a medium sized bowl, add the coffee mixture and stir to combine. Drizzle icing over the cake, allowing it to glide down the sides.
7
Put 2 candy canes into a plastic bag, seal the bag and use the bottom of a small metal pot to bash them to bits! Cheap therapy is the bonus.
8
Eat the third candy cane. You need to keep up your energy.
9
Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of the cake and serve!
