Mocha Fudge Bundt Cake with a Mocha Fudge Glaze - An easy recipe for Mocha Fudge Cake. Make it in a bundt cake pan and top it with Mocha Fudge glaze. Uses coffee instead of milk or water for the liquid.

Occasionally, when life is really busy, or just plain crazy, I cheat and doctor a cake mix rather than cook from scratch. I would rather have company over and serve them an easy dessert, rather than not entertain at all.

When the cake mix brand that I like goes on sale, I will buy a few packages and stash them in the pantry. I do the same with my favorite brand of pudding. Knowing that I can easily throw together  a dessert makes it easier for me to say yes to entertaining no matter what else is going on in my life.

This Mocha Fudge Bundt Cake is adapted from my Easy Triple Chocolate Cake recipe. Last month, I was planning on making a chocolate cake for dessert after I came in from my late afternoon ride. During my ride, I fell and hit my head and had a concussion (I was wearing a helmet, so I was not too severely injured). Since I was advised to stay awake, I decided to go ahead with my plans to bake and added coffee to both the cake and the glaze. ‘Cause that how cowgirls roll.

    Just wondering on the coffee part are you saying unused coffee grounds, or instant coffee grounds or brewed coffee. Every recipe is different and would love to use this glaze soon. It looks great.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
