Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, and then the bourbon, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl along the way.
- In a separate bowl combine the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In another bowl stir together the yogurt and water.
- Add one half of the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and stir. Next add the yogurt mixture and stir.
- Finally, add the rest of the dry ingredients and stir until everything is combined completely.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan that has been dusted with the tablespoon of cocoa powder; bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the cake bakes, mix together the powdered sugar, instant espresso, and water until smooth.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan. Just before serving, drizzle the glaze over top.
