Coffee Spice Cake

Coffee Spice Cake
1 package (two layer size) spice cake mix
2 large eggs
1/4 cup oil
2 cups cold coffee

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 10-inch tube pan.
In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, eggs, oil, and 1 cup of the coffee according to package directions. Pour into prepared pan and bake as specified on the package.
Immediately pierce the top of the cake all over with a fork, butter knife, or skewer. Pour the remaining cup of coffee over top, allowing cake to soak it up. You may need more or less. If you want the cake to stay firm and easily sliceable, use less; but if you want a really moist, soaked cake, use more. Allow to cool. Needs no further frosting or garnish!

This is one of those coffee cake recipes that actually contains coffee - in both the cake and the glaze. It goes well with a cup of coffee, or tea or hot chocolate or milk if there is already enough coffee in the cake. Use your favorite type/strength/flavor of coffee.
