How to Make Kahlua Cake With Kahlua Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix and 1 (3.4 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix.
  4. Add 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup Kahlua, and 3 large eggs.
  5. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the Kahlua glaze:
  8. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup Kahlua, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup heavy cream.
  9. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  10. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  11. Once the cake is done baking, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack.
  12. Pour the warm Kahlua glaze evenly over the cooled cake.
  13. Allow the cake to cool completely on the wire rack for at least 4 hours before serving.
