Rich, moist Kahlua Chocolate Cakes combine deep chocolate flavor with a hint of coffee liqueur, making them an ideal dessert for celebrations and gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup Kahlua liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, Kahlua, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
