Sin and Vice Cake (Mardi Gras Cake)

First, make some coffee. Just a serving should do, double brew it if you really like coffee.

Next, mix up a mocha cake. You can use any recipie for chocolate cake you like (even a box cake!) just replace the water with coffee. Stick it in the oven and bake as instructed.

While that is baking, cream 2 cups of confectionors sugar with 1/3 of a cup of buttter. Raid your liquor cabnet for 2 tablespoons of Kahula and add that as well as 3 tablespoons of strong coffee and mix till smooth and spreadable.

Once your cake is out of the oven, cooled and frosted, you can decorate it however you want. one easy thing to do (great for today) is make a paper cutout of a mask and/or beads and sift sugar or cocoa power through it to lightly cover your cake with a pretty design!
