📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of the espresso powder with 1 cup water. Add the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and ½ cup vegetable oil, whisking vigorously until very well combined, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake according to the package directions.

4
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Then use the rounded handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake. Slowly pour the condensed milk mixture over the entire cake. Let the cake cool completely, about ⏱️ 45 minutes.
5
In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ½ cup Irish cream and 2 tablespoons espresso powder until the powder is dissolved.
6
In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, stir together the pudding mix, powdered sugar, and espresso-Irish cream mixture. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the heavy cream. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes.
7
Spread the topping over the cake and chill for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes and up to overnight. Just before serving, sprinkle the cake with chocolate shavings.
