This Kahlua Almond Cake is delicious. I have been making it for years, becoming my husband’s favourite. This cake is a single layer with a rich chocolate buttery glaze poured over the top. The chocolate goodness drips off the sides and creates a mouthwatering hint of coffee, chocolate delight with every bite. It is the perfect dessert for entertaining.
