This is the best Kahula cake recipe out there! It reminds me of my late sister in law, she loved this cake and everyone in the family did too! Each time I make it, it brings back my fond memories of her sweetness

Excellent! I followed this recipe as written and the result was wonderful. I think next time I will add a little more Kahlua as another reviewer did, just because I love Kahula. Thank you for sharing.

Mmmmmmmmm. Very, very good. I ran a little shy on the amount of Kahlua I had on hand, so I added in a splash of dark rum to make up the difference. Worked out fine. I'm making this one again soon!

This was an amazing cake! I'm a Kahlua freak so this was perfect. I used 3/4 cup of Kahlua and 1/4 cup of water for the cake mix. I considered skipping the water all together and using 1 cup of Kahlua...LOL! I thought that there was going to be too much topping at first but it all soaked in and made it super moist and delish! Thanks so,so much for posting this!
