KAHLUA CHOCOLATE CAKE
If you love chocolate and Kahlua, this cake recipe is for you. It's definitely an adult-only cake. The coffee flavor from the Kahlua is wonderful in the tender cake. When mixed, the glaze may seem strong and thick, but once it slightly melts into the warm cake it's the perfect complement. So easy to bake, a novice baker can make...

Steps:
- Make the crumb topping:
- Using your fingers, combine flour, butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, espresso powder, and salt in a medium bowl until mixture sticks together when pressed. Chill until ready to use.
- Make the chocolate swirl:
- Melt chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (water should not touch bowl) or in the top of a double boiler over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in pecans, coffee, and granulated sugar.
- Make the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour tube pan, tapping out excess flour. Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and cardamom in a medium bowl. Whisk coffee, sour cream, and vanilla in another medium bowl.

Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean and cake springs back when pressed, 40-50 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
- Run a butter knife around the perimeter of pan to loosen cake. Gently invert cake onto a large plate, then return cake (crumb side up) to rack.
