This cake is rub it in your hair good! I made it for a bake sale and the person who bought it has called me three different times to make it for family get-togethers. The pairing of chocolate and coffee-flavored liqueur is tantalizing.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you love chocolate and Kahlua, this cake recipe is for you. It's definitely an adult-only cake. The coffee flavor from the Kahlua is wonderful in the tender cake. When mixed, the glaze may seem strong and thick, but once it slightly melts into the warm cake it's the perfect complement. So easy to bake, a novice baker can make this dessert.
