Kahlua Chocolate Bundt Cake


Our friend, Sunya and Russ, gave us an unexpected and absolutely perfect wedding gift: a basket of great dried herbs and spices and their best recipes. This Kahlua Bundt cake is one of those recipes; as Sunya put it, "it is really simple, but your friends will be so impressed!" It was indeed a hit with out friends last weekend, so I will be making it again for Easter with Ryan's family. I expect this recipe will help prove to my Mother-in-Law that I CAN cook. Enjoy!

 
Kahlua Chocolate Bundt Cake
1 box yellow cake mix- with pudding in the mix
1 3.9 ounce box of instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet work well)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Kahlua liquer
1 teaspoon vanilla
3-4 eggs (the number suggested by the cake mix- varies by brand)
3/4 or 1/3 cup vegetable oil (the amount suggested by the cake mix- varies by brand)

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray and dust with flour. Mix all ingredients in a mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Pour into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool, and flip onto a cake plate. Optional: garnish with powdered sugar, chocolate sauce, and white and dark chocolate shavings. Serve with sliced strawberries and whipped cream.
