I found this recipe on Betty Crocker's website & made it over the weekend. We love Kahlua & especially enjoyed it in this dessert. Would like to try it with brownie mix next time, but just love it. Have to make it again, as the friends I've told about it are all drooling already. Thanks V for posting this keeper. -
I made this cake yesterday. I did a few things different from what the recipe said. I used home made chocolate buttercrram icing, and put it in the freezer til it was good and hard. I topped it with simple chocolate gaunache & froze it all. It was all good, except the cake was really dry. I did pull out the leftovers the next day and cake was much better. I think that perhaps when the ice cream melted a bit the day before it soaked into the cake. I would make this again, maybe with a different cake as a base.

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
