    I was shopping. Again. Another bundt cake tin. I just can’t stop buying those gorgeous pieces! Maybe somebody should cancel my credit cards…. just kidding! All good. I don’t have a bundt cake tin problem. I just really need them. All of them! :P

    I suppose this is how people talk with a little addiction :P Of course I am not one of them! Pretty sure about that! *ehrm*

    Anyways – I wanted to talk about the cake, not about… well you know ;)

    So today I have a Kahlua Chocolate Cake for you. Really delicious! Do you all know Kahluha? If not, it’s a delicious coffee liquor. First time I tried it, was when I lived in the U.S. – many of the girls I was working with at Disney in Florida were addicted to Kahlua. More or less ;) You can drink it as White Russian (you can find the recipe at the end) or plain with milk and some ice cubes. Tastes like iced coffee – plus a bit of oooompf from the alcohol ;)

    If you are into this flavor, you will like the cake – pretty sure about that. The alcohol may have dissapeared while baking, but the flavors are still there.

    One more thing: I have to apologize for the glaze on top of the cake ;) Even though the bundt cake tin is awesome, it is not made for that kind of thick ganache on top. Works much better with a bundt cake that has a smooth surface. BUT I wanted more chocolate on that cake, so this is the result. I hope you can forgive me for that quite “rough” look of the cake ;)

    How to make a White Russian? Easy: 1 part (e.g. 2cl) Kahlua – 2 parts Vodka – mix that and pour into a glass with some ice – add 2 parts heavy cream (you can whip it a bit before, so it is fluffy) and you’re done with a nice cocktail. You can also make shots out of it, like I did for the pictures – I did not want to get drunk at 10am in the morning :P

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Grease a gugelhupf tin and dust with flour.

    2. Chop the chocolate and add to a heatproof bowl, place over a pot with simmering water and melt. Set aside. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and set aside. Mix the crème fraîche and Kahlua in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.

    3. In a large bowl add the butter and brown sugar and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one after another and mix well in between. Add vanilla extact and cooled melted chocolate and mix well. Add the flour mixture alternating with the Kahlua mixture and mix until just combined – do not overmix. Add the boiling water and mix. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the gugelhupf tin and smooth out the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle of the cake comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool down in the tin for about 25-30 minutes, then carefully remove from the tin and let cool down on a wire rack completely.

    4. For the glaze chop the chocolate and add to a bowl. Add the heavy cream and Kahlua to a saucepan and heat up until little bubbles appear on the surface, then pour over the chocolate and let sit without stirring for about 2 minutes, then mix until well combined and smooth. Let cool down a bit, then drizzle over the cake. Let the glaze dry before serving.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine Gugelhupfform einfetten und mit Mehl ausstauben.

    2. Die Schokolade für den Teig klein hacken und in eine hitzebeständige Schüssel geben, auf einen Topf mit köchelndem Wasser stellen und die Schokolade langsam schmelzen lassen. Vom Herd nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen. Das Mehl mit Kakao, Natron und Salz vermischen und zur Seite stellen. Die Crème Fraîche und den Kahlua in einer kleinen Schüssel verrühren und zur Seite stellen.

    3. In einer großen Schüssel die Butter mit dem braunen Zucker auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis die Masse hell und luftig ist. Die Eier einzeln zugeben und jeweils gut verrühren. Den Vanille Extrakt zusammen mit der geschmolzenen Schokolade unterrühren. Die Mehlmischung abwechselnd mit der Kahlua Mischung in mehreren Portionen zugeben und nur kurz verrühren – nicht zu viel rühren! Kochendes Wasser zugeben und verrühren. Die Schokoladendrops zugeben und unterheben. Den Teig in die Form füllen und glattstreichen. Im Ofen für 55-60 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und für etwa 25-30 Minuten in der Form abkühlen lassen, dann vorsichtig auf ein Kuchengitter stürzen und komplett auskühlen lassen.

    4. Für die Glasur die Schokolade klein hacken und in eine Schüssel geben. Die Sahne mit dem Kahlua in einem Topf erhitzen, bis kleine Bläschen aufsteigen und dann über die gehackte Schokolade giessen. Das Ganze für etwa 2 Minuten stehen lassen und dann verrühren. Etwas abkühlen lassen und dann den Kuchen damit übergießen. Die Glasur trocknen lassen und dann servieren.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
