Kahlua Cake

There is a cake I usually make for potlucks or parties - Better Than (you know what) Cake.  One time I took it to a party, and somebody asked me if I had ever had the cake with Kahlua in it.  NO!  Sounds de.lish., right?  The problem is I usually bring the cake to events where kids are.  Let's face it - how often do you go to adults only potlucks/parties?

A few days ago the perfect occasion came up for me to bring this cake - not only was it a no-kids party, but it was a LADIES party!  :)

I give you Kahlua Cake!

 1 box devil's food cake mix
1 small box chocolate pudding mix
1 8-ounce container sour cream
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs

Small container Cool Whip
2 Skor (or Heath) candy bars

Preheat oven according to cake mix directions.  Mix first 6 ingredients.  Bake as directed on cake mix box.  When cake comes out of the oven, poke warm cake with the handle of a wooden spoon - make lots of holes! :)

Pour Kahlua over cake and allow to soak in.  (I used 1/2 cup Kahlua and felt it wasn't enough after tasting the cake.  Next time I will use more - 3/4 cup to 1 cup, maybe.)

After Kahlua soaks in, top with a small container of Cool Whip and 2 crushed Skor candy bars.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

*I read online about using Kahlua in place of water in the cake, but I have not tried that yet.
