Chocolate Kahlua Cake

We participated in an auction this weekend to raise money for Brad’s unit.  Everyone was supposed to craft/bake/sew something to be auctioned.  I’m not much of a baker, but I’m not crafty either, so I decided to try this easy (but yummy) cake recipe.  The recipe comes from my bff Suzy’s mom, and we got $15 for it at the auction.

I made a glaze out of chocolate chips, heavy cream, and Kahlua that is pictured but not included in the recipe.  The glaze doesn’t add much as far as flavor goes, but it sure makes it look pretty! This cake is great served warm with vanilla ice cream, but is awesome at room temperature too!

  2. Low cal - not so much. I'm just glad I had to sell it or I would have eaten it all.

  3. Looks awesome!! Debs also has been known to sprinkle powdered sugar over the top- makes it pretty too. Of coures, she has a salt shaker dedicated to sprinkling powdered sugar on things to make them pretty. As for me, I'm lucky if the salt shaker has some salt in it :)
