KAHLUA CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE

Little Mouse cannot resist chocolate anything! Been trying to find a recipe for rich chocolate cake without baking soda aftertaste, and this is it!! This is Little Mouse's own version, and the cake is good even as layered cake. My kids and I love it so much that we made it again the next week. It is so simple, anyone can do this! 

You can bake in one deep round 8" or two round 8" for layered cake or half the recipe to make one shallow cake. Yumzzzzz!
