Made this for a potluck at my office and won best dessert!! So delicious. I used about 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips and made in a 10" tube pan instead of a bundt pan. Served w/ sliced strawberries and dusted w/ powdered sugar. Will definitely make again!

OMG! I have a similar recipe that I have used numerous times, but the liqueur adds a whole other dimension! I used Creme De Coaco, which complimented well. I put Chocolate Fudge Icing on top while still slightly warm (so it would melt and run over the cake) and it was AMAZING!

Very good...a little too rich for my taste, but I will most likely make it again.

Moist, rich, delicious - you will get rave reviews for this cake! I also make this using mini choloate chips poured into muffin tins, and bake for 25-30 minutes, Drizzling with a bit of white chocolate is the perfect finishing touch.

This cake is a keeper which I made for my son's birthday last weekend. I took it up a notch and frosted it with cream cheese fronting. It is delightful and after I started to make this I realized that this was one of my mom's recipes that she always made when she when to a pot luck for it always impressed the guests

I made this cake twice, and it was a total hit both times! It's a very moist and flavourful cake, and comes out great with whatever alterations you decide to make.

Wow, my family said this was the best cake ever - very moist. I didn't have the liqueur so I used strong coffee and mini chocolate chips. Top this cake with the Satiny Chocolate Glaze on this same site and you have a definite crowd pleaser. This is one I will make alot! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This was delicious! If I make it again I will use chocolate milk in place of the liquor. (I used white cream de cocoa.) I'm not a fan of liquor but wanted to try recipe as written. I also cooked it for 55 minutes and used 1 1/c cups mini chips as sugested by others. I will try next time cutting baking time by 5 more minutes. Cake mellowed overnight and was great. I removed it from the refrigator 30 inutes before serving. I kept it cold because I used a mouse filling for top and split layers. See my photo. The mousse isa very simple and delicious. 1 pkg. instant chocolate pudding, 1/4 cup confectionary sugar, 2 heaping taplespoons cocoa. Mix together and beat in 1 cup milk and fold in 8 ounces of whip topping. I used mini chips sprinkled on top as it was a birthday party.

This is the best chocolate cake I've ever made. I made it for a 40th birthday party for our neighbor and the guests went for my cake before the sheet cake that was ordered. The cake was devoured in minutes. Everyone RAVED about it. Powdered sugar on top makes it look picture-perfect. I've used Kahlua coffee liqueur, Godiva chocolate liqueur, and Frangelico Hazelnut liqueur and all have made the cake delicious. I would give this cake 100+ stars if I could!

Great cake! Made EXACTLY as written. I did take the advice of others and sprinked cocoa powder over the Baker's Joy I sprayed the bundt pan with to avoid having flour spots on a finished cake. It came out perfect, moist and delicious!

I made this today, and it's amazing. I baked it for exactly one hour, then took it out without testing and it was perfectly done. I used light sour cream and did not have coffee liquor, so used a cup of plain old Maxwell House I had made this morning, not really strong, but not weak. It was sooooo chocolaty! No frosting needed. Also used mini chips as others suggested. Not sure I'll spend money on liquor since it was so good with just coffee next time I make it, and I will definitely be making this again.

Loved it! A huge hit! This cake is a foundation...build it anyway you want. I didn't have chocolate pudding so I used vanilla pudding and devils food cake mix. My hubby doesn't like the flavor of coffee so I used a 1/2 cup of water and 2 tsp of vanilla. It turned out GREAT. The next time I made it I used a lemon cake mix, lemon pudding, omit the coffee liqueur and again used water and vanilla and added poppy seeds instead of chocolate chips. Think of the possiblities...

This is a fantastic cake! I made it for my mother in-law and she loved it! I ended up filling in the center with chocolate mousse and put strawberrys on top. It looked fantastic and tasted great! I am not a huge fan of really sweet things and I though I would not like it, but somehow it wasn't overly sweet.

This cake is awesome and addictive. I've made it a few times already. The only thing I do differently is replace the liqueur with espresso and use about 1 to 1.5 cups mini chocolate chips.

AMAZING!!! I learned about this recipe from a friend and it is now my "go-to" recipe when we have friends over. Its wonderful!!! I think my friend divulged where she got the recipe because she was tired of requests to make it. Its wonderful with coffee, alone, with milk...you can't go wrong. Also, it makes a really beautiful (edible) centerpiece during coffee when dusted with confectioner's sugar and filled with strawberries as the picture shows. NO FAIL SUCCESS WITH THIS ONE!!!
