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.
