Chocolate Kahlua Cake

By Addie

Every now and again a recipe intrigues me even though it is not the kind of thing that I would usually make. This one starts with a cake mix and a package of pudding. I know, I know, chemicals and preservatives and stuff, but sometimes there is nothing more delicious than a cake made from a mix. And let me tell ya, this cake is delicious. I saw my friend Tiffany post about this Chocolate Kahlua Cake on her Facebook page, it is her husband’s birthday cake request every year, and since I am a bore, I asked her for the recipe. I am so glad that I did. This cake is moist, chocolaty, and pretty much my idea of heaven. Booze and chocolate. Enough said. Tiffany only sprinkles hers with a dusting of powdered sugar. Which I am sure is great, but why not up the booze factor? I bought the Kahlua for the cake and had a ton leftover so why not make a glaze?

Ingredients

• Kahlua Glaze:
• 1 box chocolate cake mix (without pudding)
• 1 box (3.75-ounce) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 2 cups sour cream
• 4 eggs
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup Kahlua
• 1 (6-ounce) package chocolate chips
• ..............................................
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 4 Tablespoons Kahlua

Preparation

Step 1

Put everything in the bowl except for the chocolate chips. Mix for a few minutes until it is well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. I had a few half empty chocolate chip packages laying around, so I used a mixture of milk and semi-sweet chips. Put the batter in a greased Bundt pan or even a tube pan.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then turn out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.

Start the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar and Kahlua until smooth. Pour the glaze over the top of the cake.
