Although I’m not a huge cake fan and I’m not a huge chocolate fan, there is just something about chocolate cake for breakfast. I usually store the chocolate cake in the fridge and pull out a slice to enjoy just as the sun is rising.

National Irish Coffee Day made this even better as I licked the plate clean of all frosting. Irish Coffee is sugar (white, but I saw brown sugar listed in some recipes), Irish whiskey, and hot coffee, topped with thick cream. I thought it would be the perfect frosting accompaniment to a moist chocolate cake. Due to time restrictions, I used a boxed chocolate cake mix instead of making my own, but I take no shame in that game. It came out delicious and I used less groceries. 😉
