I am so excited to share this Kahlua Cake recipe with all of you, because it was one of my all-time, absolute favorites! I have been making it for years and every time I share it with family or friends it is always a runaway hit. No one would ever believe this decadent cake starts with a mix!
The secret is in the Kahlua coffee liqueur – think of this dessert as an edible cocktail! The flavorful liqueur is not only baked in the batter, but it is also drizzled on top of the cake once it comes out of the oven. The bundt cake comes out incredibly moist and is one of those recipes that tastes even better the next day.

1 Pkg (3.9 Ounces) Instant Fudge Pudding Mix
1/2 Cup Kahlua
1/2 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
4 Eggs
Topping:
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
1/4 Cup Water
1/3 Cup Kahlua
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts in bottom of pan; set aside. Mix together cake mix, pudding mix, Kahula, water, and oil in a mixing bowl and mix until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix after each addition. Pour mixture over nuts in pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. While the cake is still hot, spoon on prepared topping mixture, slowly and evenly. (Don’t poke holes in cake, just pour on top.) Let cool in pan for 45 minutes to an hour, then remove and cool.
Topping Directions:
Place sugar, butter, and water in a saucepan over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Let mixture come to a boil and boil, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Kahula; pour over cake as directed.

Do you have a place where you can save your recipes? (recipe box)
Kahlua cake? I’m there!
My mom made this cake when I was a kid. I now make it, but I know longer use a mix. I normally use almonds and amaretto though. It’s delicious with amaretto. I’ve used rum too and that has been good as well.
what did you use instead of the mix? i can’t buy the cake mix here so i need something to replace it. thanks
Please provide a recipe box for me on your website.
Thanks so much for yielding in to this request.
I absolutely love the drizzle at the end. It keeps everything soft and moist. And most of all, it is not baked out of the cake. This is one hell of a recipe i would love to try
