Chocolate Espresso Cake with Espresso Icing
Basically, go buy a chocolate cake mix.
When you're making it, substitute softened/melted butter for oil and heat the water (for the cake mix instructions) up and dissolve 2 TB of espresso in it.
Then bake for normal time and ice with:
1/2 cup shortening
3-ish cups of powdered sugar
3 TBS of warmed water with 2 TB of espresso (cool down before adding to powdered sugar)
and 1 teasp of vanilla.
Once it's iced, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and some chocolate chips...
or if you have them, chocolate covered espresso beans.
I'll post pics when I get home!
