Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 325ºF (163ºC) and prepare a bundt pan by greasing and flouring it.
-
Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Incorporate cocoa and egg yolks: Add the cocoa powder and egg yolks to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well until fully combined.
-
Prepare coffee-Kahlua mixture: In a separate bowl, dissolve the baking soda in water. Then, combine the dissolved soda with coffee and Kahlua.
-
Alternate additions: Gradually add the coffee-Kahlua mixture to the batter, alternating with the flour, until all ingredients are incorporated.
-
Fold in egg whites: Gently fold in the beaten egg whites and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
-
Pour batter into pan: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, ensuring it’s evenly distributed and tapping the pan gently to remove any air bubbles.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare glaze: While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by combining powdered sugar and Kahlua in a bowl until smooth.
-
Glaze the cake: Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
-
Cool and freeze: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and let it cool completely. Once cooled, cover the cake with foil and freeze until firm.
-
Serve: About 1 hour before serving, remove the cake from the freezer and ice it with whipped cream or Cool Whip for an extra creamy finish.
