Description

Inspired by Ree’s X-Mas Rum Cake, but with chocolate, coffee, and Kahlua.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1 box (3.5 Oz. Box) Instant Chocolate Pudding
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • ½ cups Canola Oil
  • ¾ cups Strongly Brewed Coffee
  • ¼ cups Kahlua
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1-½ stick Butter
  • 1-½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cups Strongly Brewed Coffee
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa
  • ½ cups Kahlua

Preparation

Cake:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.

Mix the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, coffee, and Kahlua together and pour into the pan.

Bake for 50 minutes or until cake tests done.

Glaze:

In the last 10 minutes of baking, melt the butter in a sauce pan. Add the sugar, coffee, and cocoa and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until it has achieved a clear, syrupy consistency. Remove from the heat and add the Kahlua. Return to heat and boil a bit longer.

When the cake tests done, remove it from the oven but leave it in the pan. Gently poke holes in (what will be) the bottom of the cake with a fork. With a ladle, slowly pour 3/4 of the glaze onto the cake.

Allow it to sit for 20 minutes so that the glaze can soak in. Turn the cake over onto a rimmed cake plate.

Gently prick the top and sides of the cake with a fork and pour the remaining glaze (reheat the glaze if necessary) over the cake.

This cake is absolutely wonderful! I have a sweet tooth and enjoy almost everything chocolate so, for Christmas, I gave this out to a few friends and served it to my family hoping they would enjoy it as well. Everyone loved it including my mom who is not fond of sweets (after working 25-30 years for a major candy company, who can blame her?!). My parents wanted me to leave them some cake before we left the house!

I used coconut oil instead of canola oil, not because coconut oil has more health benefits. Canola oil may be healthier overall. I’m an island girl and I just have to have my coconut! I will probably add shredded coconut to recipe in the future. I like desertdessert’s idea of adding chocolate chips. This cake is heavenly when served warm/hot and accompanied with vanilla bean ice cream.

Absolutely incredible. Very moist. A tasty Kahlua and coffee flavor, but not over powering. I added some mini chocolate chips to the cake because I love mini chocolate chips and I thought it made a great little texture addition. Tasted like the “Nothing Bundt Cakes” cake but with coffee and Kahlua!
