This Kahlua Chocolate Layered Cake is an incredibly moist, Kahlua soaked, chocolate cake! It’s frosted and layered with homemade Kahlua Buttercream, then topped with Chocolate Ganache… it is truly an indulgent cake!
Spring is literally one week away and I’m full on excited and baking up a storm!
The Kahlua buttercream on this cake is something out of a storybook- its insanely addictive!
I had my spoon in the mixing bowl quite a few times while making the frosting!
I decided to use chocolate cake when making this layered cake, though you could use vanilla instead, which I intend on trying in my kitchen VERY soon- stay tuned, I might put that up on the blog too 🙂
This indulgent Kahlua cake should be named Sinful. It’s so rich and you will be in heaven eating a slice, The whole family was eagerly awaiting for this cake to be ready! It took every tiny bit of willpower in me to not eat this entire cake!
Its a perfect potluck cake, dessert for the family or wonderful for bake sales, church functions, get togethers or even as a birthday cake! My favorite types of desserts always seem to include some alcohol in them.
This gorgeous layered cake is part of my continuing “Cake Series” here on my blog!
