Chocolate Kahlua Coffee Pound Cake

Chocolate Kahlua Coffee Pound Cake-This triple threat cake will be the perfect ending to any dinner party.

Chocolate Kahlua Coffee Pound Cake-This triple threat cake will be the perfect ending to any dinner party.

I’m not a big drinker. I learned early on that I didn’t like the taste of most alcohols unless they were heavily mixed with something else so I couldn’t even taste the booze.  Made me a pretty cheap date back in the day. Then I discovered Kahlua. I’m not even sure how it happened.

Maybe because the drink was Kahlua and Cream. Just cream mixed with Kahlua over ice. I’m a milk drinker from way back. My grandparents owned a dairy farm growing up. Nothing better in this world than fresh milk. You can’t even get it these days. Farmers are afraid to sell it to you. So sad, my kids will never understand fighting for the cream at the top of the bottle.

This will sound strange but a glass of milk was always my hangover fix. What’s that old saying “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?” Yeah, the milk would either completely settle my stomach or…well the reverse would happen. Either way, it was over.

It was only natural for me to love this drink, and guess what, never had a hangover from it!

So through the years, Kahlua has been my go to booze.

Let me tell you, adding it to your baked goods, Ahhhhhmazing! The Kahlua and coffee enhance the chocolate beyond belief in this cake.

Notes

If you want to keep your kids alcohol free, just omit the glaze and sprinkle a little powdered sugar over top. Either way it’s delicious!

    I’ve never been a big drinker either, but I agree that Kahlua is awesome. And mixed with chocolate in baking – to die for! I’m sure this cake is amazing, it looks delicious!

    I am not overly fond of alcohol either although I have developed a love for sangria! Goes to show that I really have a sweet tooth. So this cake would be perfect for me!

    I’d love a bowl of glaze and a spoon! The whole cakes looks fantastic!

    • Joan Hayes says

      Ummm, I might have done that with the leftover glaze? It really is that good!

    • Joan Hayes says

  14. Elizabeth B says

    November 10, 2013 at 8:55 pm

    Simple yet amazing! Just for general information, there is non-alcoholic Kahlua. I always find it by syrups for coffee and use it all the time in my cooking. Great for nondrinkers and kids. I’ve tried this recipe as is and with my own peanut butter glaze and my fam ate all of it by the end of the day!

    • Joan Hayes says

      November 10, 2013 at 9:18 pm

      I’ll have to look for that version and your peanut butter glaze sounds like a fabulous complement to this cake!

    Hi-what size pudding mix? There is a large and small size. Thank you!

    • Joan Hayes says

      November 11, 2013 at 7:50 am

      It’s the small four serving size, I’ll note it in the recipe. Thanks for visiting!

        I was confused too. Bought the big one and dumped all but maybe 1/4 in there.

    Ill be making this for a CRAFT SHOW DAY B4 TKGS. BUTTTTTTTTTTT after I slice it and try a slice OMG cant wait to do that. I do make my own Kahlua so much better than store bought and instead of oil Ill be using COCONUT OIL and it should be awesome with this recipe and Ill be making it on the 24th and will let you know how it turns out. I may make them in mini bundt cakes and that way Ill have one to MYSELF OR MAYBE 2 ???????? HHMMMMMMM THAT SOUNDS BETTER. TKS

    This looks yummy! Have you ever tried the glaze with Bailey’s Irish Cream? Do you think this could work? I think I will try it!

    • Joan Hayes says

      November 14, 2013 at 9:26 pm

      I’m sure the Baileys would be delish!

  19. Krista says

    This sounds delicious! Some friends of mine and I are going to have a Christmas goodie make it day soon and I think I’ll take this for us to snack on while we bake.. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Plan to make this for Christmas Eve. Can I make the day before and wrap in plastic wrap to retain moistness before I frost the next day ?

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 19, 2013 at 7:56 pm

      Yes you can, just make sure your cake is completely cooled before wrapping!

  21. Cathy says

    December 24, 2013 at 10:20 am

    Could this be made in a loaf pan instead of a bundt pan? I can’t seem to find my bundt pan and I don’t really want to go to the store to get a new one lol

    • Joan Hayes says

      January 5, 2014 at 11:17 pm

      It sure can but it will make 2 loaves.

  24. Tracy says

    March 14, 2014 at 11:23 pm

    Hi Joan. Here is South Africa we don’t get a devil’s food cake mix in a box. I presume it is ok to use any chocolate cake mix? Thanks. PS – this cake has me salivating at my desk and I can’t wait to try it!

    • Joan Hayes says

      April 3, 2014 at 1:28 pm

      Of course! Any chocolate cake mix will work! Happy baking!

  27. Marian says

    July 31, 2014 at 1:36 pm

    What size instant chocolate pudding do you use, 3 ounce or 6 ounce

    • Joan Hayes says

      August 2, 2014 at 11:44 pm

      It’s the 4 serving size, 3.4 ounces.

  28. Marian says

    August 3, 2014 at 7:18 pm

    My glaze was so runnie, have no idea what I did wrong? Even added extra powdered sugar and it did not help.

  29. Donna+Hall says

    November 18, 2014 at 10:37 am

    Can this be frozen before glazing?

    • Joan Hayes says

      November 20, 2014 at 12:16 pm

      Yes it can. It freezes well.

  30. Lisa F. says

    November 29, 2014 at 1:22 pm

    Oh how I love me some Kahlua! This cake is a definitely on my to-do list for Christmas. And by the way Kahlua over vanilla ice-cream ……….to die for! Thanks for sharing.

  31. Dwight Kincaid says

    January 1, 2015 at 12:48 pm

    I made this cake for Christmas, and it was delicious. It was moist and chocolatey. My only critique is, no one could taste the Kahlua. I even used holiday Kahlua, which is Pepermint Mocha Kahlua, and it still was not evident as a flavor. I will be making this again and there will be more Kahlua put in this time, I will probably cut the coffee back a quarter cup and replace it with the Kahlua. All that said, it was still the hit of the 2 parties I took it to!

  32. Rachel says

    March 18, 2015 at 1:22 pm

    is it best to have the coffee cold or room temp?

    • Joan Hayes says

      March 27, 2015 at 9:12 am

      Room temperature is always best when baking for all your ingredients.
