Chocolate Kahlua Cake

This is another recipe that’s an old favorite of mine. Growing up, my mom would make this Chocolate Kahlua Cake for all kinds of events: pot lucks, parties, holiday gatherings. And it was always a hit!

I’ve been told more than once by people that this is the absolute best chocolate cake they’ve ever had. And I’d have to agree!

This Chocolate Kahlua Cake is unbelievably decadent, and oh so irresistible. The cake itself is moist, super chocolaty, and packed with chocolate chips. It’s then topped with a yummy chocolate Kahlua glaze, to make it look just as good as it tastes!
