Chocolate Kahlua Cake: A Boozy Bundt Cake Recipe

The Best Chocolate Kahlua Cake Recipe

Let’s talk about one of my favorite things to bake with: some booze. There’s something about adding a touch of liquor to baking recipes that brings in so much flavor. The best boozy bundt cake is this Chocolate Kahlua Cake! It’s my grandmother’s recipe that she revised from a convent (where nuns live) – isn’t that funny? I guess everyone loves a bit of booze.

What Makes This A Great Boozy Bundt Cake

I love that this cake is perfect for almost any occasion. We’ve served it for birthdays or casually with a cup of coffee. It’s light and fluffy because it doesn’t have a rich frosting. The liquor inside of the cake bakes off in the oven, but you add the glaze of powdered sugar and Kahlua on top. That soaks in to create this delicious layer of flavor.

Tips For Removing A Bundt Cake From The Pan

You really want to ensure your cake comes out of the pan smoothly. I joke around and “talk to my bundt cakes,” but you just add plenty of cooking spray before filling. The fancier the bundt pan, the harder it is to get out. Make sure every nook and cranny has cooking spray.

When it’s out of the oven, you want to transfer it while it’s warm. If my bundt rises too much, I just take a bread knife and even it out before flipping. Just gently glide your knife over the top. 

I use my cake stand to place on top of the bundt pan and then quickly flip it over. You might have to jiggle it out of the pan a bit. If you’re having trouble getting it out, you can pat the top of the pan with a knife after it’s been flipped. 

How To Make Chocolate Kahlua Cake

You can use any classic box of yellow cake mix. You don’t need much liquor, so you purchasing a small bottle of Kahlua & vodka saves money. I use a Nordicware Bundt Cake Pan.

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients together.

Generously spray your bundt pan with Pam cooking spray. Pour your cake mixture into the bundt pan.

Bake at 350º for 50 – 60 minutes, depending on your oven. Cake should be firm and risen.

Let the cake stand and cool for 10 minutes. Use a knife to level the cake, if necessary. Flip onto your cake stand. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and Kahlua. Drizzle over the warm cake with a fork.
