How to Make Frozen 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 the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the cocoa powder and egg yolks until well combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the hot coffee. Stir in the Kahlúa.
  5. Gradually add the coffee mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the flour, beginning and ending with the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and the beaten egg whites until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan. Gently tap the pan to remove air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is still warm, prepare the glaze: whisk together the powdered sugar, Kahlúa, and milk until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency as needed.
  10. Pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack.
  12. Once completely cooled, cover the cake tightly with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  13. About 1 hour before serving, remove the cake from the freezer. Let it thaw slightly. Top with whipped cream before serving.
