Preheat oven to 325°F then coat bundt pan with butter and dust with flour.
Melt dark chocolate and set aside. Put 1 cup of water on to boil.
Mix instant espresso powder, cocoa powder, and salt in a glass measuring up. Add enough boiling water to fill to the 1 cup marker on the measuring cup. Add the 1/2 cup bourbon. Set aside.
Place softened butter in bowl and beat until fluffly. Add sugar and eggs then mix. Add baking powder and vanilla and mix. Once this is mixed well, add the melted chocolate and mix.

Pour mixture into bundt pan and bake about an hour and 10 minutes or until a tester comes out clean from the middle of the cake.
Allow cake to cool and then sprinkle bourbon over the cake.
