How to Make Easy Kahlua Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 cup strong brewed coffee and 1/2 cup Kahlua.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. **Prepare the Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons Kahlua, and 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee until smooth. Add more coffee, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
