How to Make Frangelico Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts) evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine one 15.25-ounce box of chocolate cake mix, one 3.4-ounce box of instant chocolate pudding mix, 4 large eggs, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup Frangelico.
  4. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter over the nuts in the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  8. Prick the top of the cake with a fork.
  9. **Prepare the Glaze:** In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat.
  10. Stir in 1/4 cup water and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  11. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes.
  12. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of Frangelico (or rum).
  13. While still warm, brush the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the cake, allowing it to absorb.
  14. Repeat steps 12-13 until all the glaze is used or the cake is sufficiently glazed.
  15. Let the cake cool completely before serving.
