08/21/2007: "Kahlua Cake"
I first tried this cake about three years ago and fell in love instantly. I was very surprised that it contained alcohol because what it really tasted like was just a really moist and delicious chocolate cake. I asked for the recipe...which was graciously given to me...and I have been making the recipe ever since. It never beats the first time I tasted it, but comes pretty close. The last time I made this, I have to admit I didn't quite care for it. But that was because I ran out of vodka...but if you follow the recipe to the T...you should yield fool proof results!!
