Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Kahlua (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt pan or round cake pan. Lightly dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and Kahlua until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the boiling water into the batter while stirring. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to steam (do not let it boil).

Step 10

Remove the cream from the heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until smooth and fully melted.

Step 11

Mix in 2 tablespoons of Kahlua to the glaze for added flavor.

Step 12

Allow the glaze to cool slightly before drizzling it over the completely cooled cake.

Step 13

Let the glaze set for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
