Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake
This Kahlua Cake is one of the original recipes I posted here on the website, back in February of 2009. It was served at my friend’s baby shower and I immediately asked for the recipe. Turned out it was so easy that it became my go to brunch dessert for years.
The icing sinks into all the holes and creates a rich, moist, and coffee flavored chocolate cake. Seriously amazing. Honestly, it’s like the original “poke” cake before I knew what a poke cake was!

Recipe Variations
- Don’t have a bundt pan? A 13×9-inch baking pan holds 14 cups and can easily accommodate a 12-cup Bundt cake recipe. Cooking time may vary, so stay in the kitchen while the cake bakes and give it plenty of attention to ensure proper doneness.
- Vary the liqueur: for a different flavor, use a coffee, hazelnut, or almond liqueur.
- Replace the alcohol: The flavors won’t be as complex, but you could substitute the crème de cocoa with chocolate syrup (keep in mind, this will also make it sweeter.)
Recipe Tips
- To poke the holes: you can use a skewer, fork tines, or the handle of a small wooden spoon. I prefer a wooden spoon so the holes are big enough to really soak up the liquid.
- Let the cake rest: I think this cake tastes even better the longer it sits (like overnight), which gives the icing mixture more time to soak in.
How to Store Chocolate Cake
This chocolate cake will last about 1-2 days at normal room temperature. Anything longer, it will need to be refrigerated (for up to 4 days.) Either way, be sure to cover it with foil or plastic wrap so it doesn’t dry out. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months (without the icing.)
