1 (18 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil or 1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup water
4 eggs
3/4 cup Kahlua
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 -4 tablespoons Kahlua

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350°F.

  • For the glaze; mix confectioners sugar starting with 2 tablespoons Kahlua until smooth adding in more Kahlua until desired consistency is achieved.
  • Pour over cake.

Tips:

- To ensure your cake batter is properly mixed, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake. - When adding the eggs to the batter, do so one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling. - For a more intense Kahlúa flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips. - To create a more dramatic swirl effect, use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the Kahlúa mixture into the batter before baking. - For a richer, more decadent cake, use a combination of butter and sour cream in place of the vegetable oil.

Conclusion:

The Kahlúa Swirl Cake is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and rich, chocolatey flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a fan of Kahlúa or just looking for a delicious chocolate cake recipe, this Kahlúa Swirl Cake is sure to please.
