Kahlua Chocolate Poke Cake is a moist, from scratch chocolate cake with a Kahlua spiked pudding and a quick 1 minute frosting! This is my husband’s new favorite cake!
Hello fellow chocolate lovers! My name is Holly and I blog over at Spend With Pennies. It’s an honor to be guest posting here on Chocolate Chocolate and More today!
Joan’s favorite recipe from my site was THIS Chocolate Poke Cake because it’s completely delicious. In fact, she loved it SO much that she was going to make it and post it on Chocolate Chocolate and More and I was going to make her favorite 3 Minute Fudge recipe for my site. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Joan before we got to make our recipes.
Naturally I had to create a special version of the poke cake just for Joan and I can’t think of a better way than to include Kahlua. This cake is so moist and rich and the Kahlua pudding makes it totally irresistible. The frosting takes just one minute and is the perfect way to top off this amazing treat. Joan would’ve loved this one!

Where do you buy Kayla pudding? The recipe sounds really good.
Hi Patty,
you don’t buy Kahlua pudding. You make it following the recipe.
This cake is to die for. I must admit, I substituted Creme de Cacao for the Kahlua because I didn’t have any Kahlua. It was wonderful and I am sure even better with the Kahlua. thanks
I really dislike foods with a coffee taste. Does this taste like coffee since there is 1 cup of coffee.
Hi Kim, I’m not a coffee fan either unless it’s doctored with chocolate. The chocolate in this cake is strong enough that you don’t get much coffee flavor but you can substitute 1 cup water for the 1 cup coffee to be sure you have no coffee flavor. If you want to be extra sure there is no hint of coffee, use chocolate liquor instead of Kahlua as well.
I made this with Caffe Lolita and dark chocolate cocoa because I had it on hand. Overall it turned out wonderful, but the alcohol taste in the pudding was just too much for me to fully enjoy–I even simmered the pudding after adding the rest of the liqueur to try to boil all the alcohol out (it might taste different with Kahlua). If I make it again, I’ll try to replace the coffee liqueur with coffee. The cake part is definitely my favorite. It was moist and the perfect amount of chocolate and coffee.
Great idea Madison. When I make child-friendly versions of cakes with liquors in them I substitute either water or a similar flavored non-alcoholic liquid. Coffee would be a perfect substitution here.
