Kahlua Nutella and Chocolate Cake

Kahlua Nutella and Chocolate Cake

Kahlua Nutella and Chocolate Cake recipe

It’s been a while since I have baked with alcoholic spirits. As I had party coming up I though now was  a good time as any to make a decadent alcoholic cake.  It had to be something sweet that would complement typical cake flavors as this cake was for an event and not just for me (not everyone is quick to jump at my unusual baking style 🙂 ).

Decisions, decision. It was down to Frangelico (hazelnut) or Kahlua (coffee).  As I have made a Frangelico cake in the past (it’s not on this blog as it just didn’t quite make the cut), I decided Kahlua it is.

What goes with the flavour of coffee? Well chocolate and hazelnut of course!

All I can say for this recipe is decadent, amazingness, flavour explosion and a must to try!

  6. Add 90ml of Kahlua to the coffee mix and pour into the butter mix.
  7. Mix the ingredients with a spoon then whisk with electric beaters until just combine.
  8. Spoon the mix into the cake tin and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 5 minutes than place on a cooling rack until the cake is cold.
  10. To make the Nutella frosting beat the cream until soft peaks.
  11. Whip the butter for 2 minutes until creamy.

      Hi there,
      Keep it in the fridge in an air tight container for 5 days or you can always freeze for up to 3 months and just put in the fridge the day before you want to serve it to defrost.
