This is a favorite decadent chocolate cake recipe that will become the favorite of any chocolate lover.
Chocolate Kahlua Cake
1 package prepared triple chocolate cake mix
1 package chocolate fudge pudding instant or bake and serve
1 package 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
1 16 oz container of sour cream
1 Cup vegetable oil
4 Eggs
1 Cup Kahlua
2 tsp strong coffee
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
In a large mixing bowl place cake mix, pudding mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix then add Kahlua, coffee and blend until smooth. Gently fold in the sour cream and when incorporated fold in the chocolate chips. (HINT: You can also toss the chocolate chips in a little flour for more evenly distributed chocolate in the cake)
Grease and flour a large bunt pan. Pour the mixture into the pan and fill 2/3 of the pan. Depending on the size of the pan you may have cake batter left over. Fortunately these make great cupcakes as well so any extra batter can be poured into a cupcake pan with liners. This is also a great idea for individual chocolate cakes as well.
For the cake place in the middle rack of the oven for 50-60 minutes. Your kitchen will smell amazing and you may have neighbors knocking at the door when the smell of chocolate travels :)
The cake will pull away from the sides of the bunt pan slightly when fully cooked.
For cupcakes the cooking time will be about 45 minutes.
Let the cake and cupcakes cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with Strawberry Cabernet or Cherry Syrah sauce and whipped cream with a sprig of mint for garnish. Or for a more simple dessert dust with powdered sugar and place fresh berries on the side.
Enjoy
Bon Appetite
