Judy’s Chocolate Kahlua Cake
The story behind Judy’s Chocolate Kahlua Cake, A cherished recipe
I wanted to share this recipe with you in memory of my dear friend Judy. It was a cake she brought to every event and party. Back in my scrapbooking days (if any of you from those days are following along, you will remember this cake and Judy well), This cake is so decadent, rich, and fit for a chocolate lover. So very Judy!
Easier than it tastes recipe: Judy’s Chocolate Kahlua Cake
You would think it took forever to make and had a million ingredients! She found out our oldest, who didn’t like cake loved this cake, and she started making it for his birthday every year! One year she surprised me with the recipe! Not something she gave out freely:) It’s a recipe I will genuinely cherish along with her cranberry crush (I’ll share another time).
Keeping Judy’s memory alive
I will care on her tradition by bringing them to parties and events. Judy was one of the classiest, most talented, full of fun ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I feel blessed to have shared many scrapbooking, shopping, birthdays, and holidays with this beautiful person. Judy passed away last week and I will truly miss her.
Things Judy and I had in common
We shared many of the same loves and even more in common. Judy was a mom of boys too, and yet so girly like I am. She loved a beautiful home, decorated every holiday perfectly, and loved to entertain to the fullest. She treated her friends like family and made everyone feel special. Judy just might own more pairs of shoes than me…. well, maybe not!:)
We sure did have fun shopping for them together and we might have several of the same pairs. We even wore the same size! She lived her life to the fullest and was one tough cookie. The last few years, she fought her health, while still looking chic! To live until your 80 is fantastic to do it her class, chicness, strength, and love are a gift to all those who knew her!
I will miss you, Judy Lewis, until we meet again, my sweet friend. OX, D’Arcy
Judy’s handwritten and scrapbooked recipe, something I will always treasure.
RECIPE:
Judy’s Chocolate Kahlua Cake
1 Duncan Hines Devil’s food cake mix
One small instant vanilla pudding mix
1 Pt. Sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup Kahlua
2 Eggs
12 oz bag of Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
Place the mix in a bowl & whisk in the pudding mix. Add all other ingredients one at a time except chocolate chips. Mix with an electric mixer. Add chips to the mix before spooning into the bundt pan that has been sprayed with pam, and then coat with flour. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 20 min. Then invert the pan on a rack so the cake will slide out. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar. I also like to drizzle it with chocolate syrup. Judy serves with Moose Tracks ice Cream, I like Vanilla Beans.
In her memory
I know she would have pure pleasure knowing her cake will be enjoyed by many, so please make it, enjoy it, and share a piece of Judy with your family. OX
