Chocolate Kahlua Cake

My family are addicted to the Amaretto cake I often make for shabbos posted on this site:  Moist And Delicious Amaretto Cake.  I decided to play around with the recipe to create something of similar texture but a whole new cake.  Thus was born my chocolate Kahlua cake.  The cake was moist and chocolaty as expected and had a subtle taste on the Kahlua that imparted a distinct taste.  Although all Kahlua is produced in Mexico and is kosher, the Kahlua bottled in the US is not kosher due to the bottling facility that bottles non-kosher items as well on the same machines.  Kosher Kahlua can be purchased on a trip to Mexico, but that is out of reach for most of us.  Some kosher liquor stores have been selling Kahlua imported from Mexico, but if you cant get your hands on that, you can substitute it with another coffee liquor such as the one packaged by Ebers.
