Notes
Serve Chocolate Kahlua Bundt Cake with ganache, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, Stabilized Whipped Cream, or Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream.
Make sure to let the cake cool to room temperature before topping with ganache.
Make sure not to over-mix cake batter. You’ll want to mix just until all streaks and lumps are gone and the batter has a smooth consistency.
