Kahlua blends nicely with chocolate to make a delicious frosting for this easy to make cake...
 

5 Tbs 

 

Kahlua

 

6 oz 

 

semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

¼ cup 

 

powdered sugar

 

4 large 

 

egg yolks

 

½ cup 

 

unsalted butter, at room temperature

 

14 oz 

 

pound cake

 

 

1

In a small saucepan, heat Kahlua over medium heat until bubbles form around the edge. Pour hot Kahlua in a blender, along with the chocolate chips. Blend until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Add powdered sugar, egg yolks and butter and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or so, until spreading consistency.

Holding a long serrated knife parallel to working surface, slice cake into 6 even layers. Place first layer on serving plate and spread with chocolate mixture to form frosting layer about 3/8" thick. Add second layer of cake and continue to frost until all cake layers are used. Spread remaining frosting on top and side of cake.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours ahead.
