Directions:
- Using a serrated knife, cut the angel food cake horizontally into 3 layers. Place the bottom cake layer on a serving platter; set other layers aside on a flat work surface.

- With a long-tined fork or skewers, poke holes all over on all three layers.

- Make the filling: use an electric mixer to cream together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and coffee liqueur until blended and smooth.
- Place bottom cake layer on serving platter. Spread with half of the filling mixture.
- Place a second cake layer on top of first layer and spread the top with remaining filling.
- Place the third cake layer on top of second cake layer.
- Make the Frosting. In a small bowl, stir together the icing sugar with the coffee powder.
- Fold mixture into the thawed whipped topping just until blended.
- Frost the entire cake with the whipped topping mixture. Chill cake for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, stir together the fudge ice cream topping and coffee liqueur. Drizzle over chilled cake.
