2 c ap flour
1 3/4 c sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 c kahlua (coffee liqueur) or strong brewed coffee
1/2 c butter, cubed
1/2 c marshmallow cream
1/3 c baking cocoa
2 eggs
1/2 c buttermilk
1/2 c chopped pecans
FROSTING
1/2 c butter, cubed
1/3 c baking cocoa
1/4 c marshmallow cream
3 3/4 c confectioners' sugar
1/2 - 2/3 c kahlua (coffee liqueur) or strong brewed coffee
1/4 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. I used a 9 x 13.
  • 2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, cinnamon and baking soda. In a small saucepan, combine Kahlua, butter, marshmallow creme and cocoa; bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.
  • 4. In a small bowl, whisk eggs and buttermilk until blended.
  • 5. Add to Kahlua mixture, whisking constantly.
  • 6. Fold in pecans. Transfer to prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. I used a 9 x 13, which took 25 minutes.
  • 7. Frosting: combine butter, cocoa and marshmallow creme in a small saucepan; stir over medium heat until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Beat in confectioners' sugar and enough Kahlua to reach a spreading consistency. I used 1/4 cup strong coffee and 1/4 cup Kahlua...was perfect consistency.
  • 8. Remove cake from oven; place on a wire rack. Spread frosting evenly over warm cake; sprinkle with pecans. Cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cake will be. Use real butter, semisweet chocolate, and fresh eggs.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature: The cake will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This Kahlua Fudge Sheet Cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this Kahlua Fudge Sheet Cake a try.
