How to Make Kahlua Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup Kahlua. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Stir in the melted chocolate and Kahlua mixture.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 75-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of decadence.
